THE HOST: JACQUELINE MARCELL:
I barely survived the most wrenching year of my life as the sole caregiver to my challenging elderly father and sweet but ailing mother, both with early Alzheimer’s not properly diagnosed for over a year. But after fighting through an unsympathetic medical system, and having my once-adoring father hauled off by the police for violence (choked me) several times to a psychiatric hospital where he’d promptly be released, and depleting my parents’ life savings and most of my own—with sheer determination I solved the endless crisis medically and behaviorally.

Stunned by what I endured so needlessly compelled me to give up my stalled career as a television executive to become an advocate for eldercare awareness and reform. Passion to save others from a similar experience (or from getting so frustrated they commit elder abuse) somehow resulted in my first (bestselling) book “Elder Rage”; producing/hosting the “Coping With Caregiving” radio program for 7+ years and interviewing 1000+ healthcare professionals; media including TODAY, CNN, PBS Documentary, NPR, Womans Day, Prevention, AARP Bulletin cover story; Board of Directors FAIR Foundation advocating Fair Allocations in Research funds from Congress/NIH; writing for AgingCare.com and ThirdAge.com; and 200+ presentations including to the California Governor’s Conference, Alzheimer’s Association, Area Agencies on Aging, National Security Agency and Florida House of Representatives. I also speak about writing, self-publishing, marketing, and obtaining celebrity endorsements.

"ELDER RAGE" is a Book-of-the-Month Club selection (the first time a book on caregiving is ever selected), receiving 266 five-star Amazon reviews and being considered for a film. Over 50 endorsements include Hugh Downs, Regis Philbin, John Hopkins Memory Clinic and Harvard Medical School. The Addendum by renowned neurologist/dementia specialist, Rodman Shankle, MS MD (former Medical Director UCI Alzheimer’s Center), makes it also valuable for healthcare professionals/doctors and required text at numerous universities for courses in geriatric assessment and management. Endorsements & Reviews.

MY MISSIONS: To help improve eldercare laws; encourage long-term care planning; show healthcare professionals how they can better help families they work with; empower caregivers with solutions and hope and to put their health first; advocate for fair funding for Alzheimer’s research and heighten early diagnosis awareness; expose elder abuse and exploitation; bring attention to the value of Adult Day Care, which saved my parents’ lives as well as my own. I’ve testified before the Assistant Secretary on Aging and received a Media Award from the National Adult Day Services Association. I was also honored with “Advocate of the Year” from the National Association of Women Business Owners at their Remarkable Women Awards. www.ElderRage.com
