Patti LaFleur
@misspatticake
My name is Patti LaFleur and I had the opportunity to be the care partner for my wonderful Mom, Linda, for the last three years before her passing in March. I describe caring for my Mom as an opportunity because I was adopted and it is my chance to reciprocate the love she gave to me. She had dementia, type 1 diabetes and was in a wheelchair but despite all of it we found joy, love and fun every day (we even went to Disneyland!).Over the last two years, I have shared our story on social media as a way to change the stigma around dementia, connect with other caregivers and raise awareness of dementia.
Kris
I’m Kris! A 34 year old, full time caregiver for my Grandma with Alzheimer’s. When I first started as a caregiver nearly 5 years ago I didn’t know much but thanks to the power of social media & other amazing caregivers I have learned so much & found my place. I now feel confident in my position as a caregiver, leading with love, laughter & lots of patience. Carewell has all the values I look for in a company. I am so proud to join on as an ambassador because they have been in my shoes before & they understand the needs of a caregiver!

Hi, my name is Sarah; I'm 35 years old and will be marrying my amazing soon-to-be husband in April 2022. I have cared for my loving father for almost 4 years until he passed away in October 2021. I'm a graduate student at The University of Tampa working on my Masters in Science in Cybersecurity. I will be graduating on 7 May 2022. I'm a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. Although I currently reside in the Tampa Bay area, I will be relocating to the state for "lovers" (Virginia) after graduation! I shared my journey caring for my dad via tiktok and Instagram. Recording my journey left me with many precious memories of my dad and me. I highly recommend documenting your journey. Some of my hobbies include traveling, shopping, and spending time with my amazing family and friends. I'm not sure what the future holds, but I hope to continue to inspire young adults to provide in-home care for terminally ill loved ones. There's no love like that of a family member.

My name is Patti LaFleur and I had the opportunity to be the care partner for my wonderful Mom, Linda, for the last three years before her passing in March. I describe caring for my Mom as an opportunity because I was adopted and it is my chance to reciprocate the love she gave to me. She had dementia, type 1 diabetes and was in a wheelchair but despite all of it we found joy, love and fun every day (we even went to Disneyland!).Over the last two years, I have shared our story on social media as a way to change the stigma around dementia, connect with other caregivers and raise awareness of dementia.
