Patti LaFleur sees her relationship with her mother Linda LaTurner as a partnership. LaFleur cares for her mother full-time, and she describes LaTurner as someone who is always giving back, even if it’s with something as simple as a smile. For LaFleur, 35, looking after her mother is a chance to return the unwavering love and care that LaTurner, 73, gave in raising her. In Being Patient’s LiveTalk series, LaFleur, a former kindergarten teacher, shares her fellowship with LaTurner in journeying through dementia, and her advice for finding joy, support and time for self-care as a caregiver.
