This October episode of “Caregiving Club On Air” we start with a wonderful interview with one of the “sharks” from TV’s “Shark Tank” – Barbara Corcoran. But she is not here to talk about business investment, rather she talks to Sherri about her personal caregiving journey with her mom who had Alzheimer’s which led to her mission to help educate people about Alzheimer’s and especially the episodes of agitation that are typical of dementia adults.
