Story
In 2010, Kathy Deinhardt Hill received a phone call from her parents’ best friend in Oregon. “You need to come and get them.” Thus started a nine-year journey, as Kathy moved her parents to Boise and became their primary caregiver. During those nine years, she learned the problems facing elderly dementia patients, their caregivers, and a community with few resources to help them.
We have plenty to talk about in this conversation. Join us on Zoom online or by phone.

What Kathy would have done differently—a long list.
