Dave Iverson had just been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease when he became the caretaker for his 93-year-old mother, who suffered from dementia. Gwen Harris, Geriatric Care Manager for Seniors At Home’s Palliative Care team, will interview Iverson about his ten-year caregiver journey and his new book, Winter Stars.
Iverson, a writer, documentary film producer/director, and retired KQED broadcast journalist, will discuss the universal challenges adult children face while caring for their aging parents. His insight into the financial, physical, and emotional struggles of caring for his mother until her death will resonate with family caregivers everywhere.
