In this episode of Alzheimer's Voices, Jacquelyn shares her experience caring for both her mother and grandmother after each received an Alzheimer's diagnosis. She reflects on the barriers she faced navigating a system unprepared for young-onset Alzheimer's, from delayed diagnoses and insurance gaps to the 29-month Medicare waiting period her mother endured. Jacquelyn also speaks openly about how family dynamics and cultural expectations around privacy shaped how the disease was, and wasn't, talked about. Now, she is building an online community for caregivers, drawn from a deep commitment to guiding other millennials through one of life's most difficult chapters.
