For Michala Gibson, creating empowering environments for people living with dementia is both a professional and personal mission.
As the co-founder of Prairie Elder Care in Overland Park, Kan., Gibson has built a unique farmhouse setting for elders living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia — complete with a garden and farm animals.
She also serves as a family caregiver for her husband, Jim, who was diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer’s just last year.
She joins the podcast to discuss her journey through dementia care as both a visionary professional leader and loving family member, providing inspiration for anyone who has walked a similar path.
