Join me in the conversation with Bill about caring for his mom and turning his pain into a passion to help other families on this caregiving journey. Here's a note from Bill to you!
Hi, I am Bill Cohen.
My loving and talented mother, Sheila, lost her home to Hurricane Katrina. Then, she lost her health, ability to create beautiful art and, ultimately, her life due to Alzheimer's. For almost 10 years, I was her primary caregiver and advocate, not just her son. I turned my personal loss into my passion for supporting other caregivers.
After “retiring” from state employment after 25 years and entering my “encore career”, I am a caregiver support group and memory cafe leader, podcast guest, and speaker, a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)®, an elder mediator, and a caregiving support consultant. I have completed several caregiving courses through the Alzheimer's Association and the Society for Certified Senior Advisors (CSA)®, and also earned business degrees from Boston and Portland State Universities.
I am a native New Englander and have lived in the Portland, Oregon area for almost 39 years with my wife and supporter of over 40 years, Lori. Here are all of the ways you can reach me.
