What to look for in dementia care

Most advice about what to look for in dementia care comes from clinicians or from families. Khatera Bahadory has been both. She arrived from Kabul at ten, worked as a caregiver while putting herself through nursing school, and now directs Astoria Park Senior Living in Pasadena, California. Then her father-in-law was diagnosed with dementia, and she spent that period on the family side of the desk — frustrated by a care team whose communication, she says, simply wasn't there. She now uses that frustration as training material. With host Aparna Pujar, founder and CEO of Zemplee, she covers how she trains her team for sundowning, why every family gets the same standard of care regardless of how often they visit, and what she would change about aging in America.
