You're Allowed to Need Care, Too (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Caring for a parent with dementia doesn't come with a scorecard that ever says "done," so many family caregivers carry a quiet belief that they're not doing enough.

You were never supposed to be born knowing how this system works. Let's walk through it together. Voices of Care, Get Care at Home.

And in that moment, every strategy you knew flew right out of your head — because staying calm doesn't feel like enough when you're the one getting hit. In this episode, Porsche unpacks what a 2026 peer-reviewed overview confirms: that dementia aggression is not a personality problem. It's a communication signal. She walks family caregivers through the Unmet Needs Model — the science behind why aggression happens — and gives fo
