JACQUELINE'S BACKGROUND: I barely survived the most wrenching year of my life as the sole caregiver to my aggressive 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, 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 burning through my parents’ life savings and most of my own--with sheer determination I solved the endless crisis medically and behaviorally.
Infuriation about all I had been through compelled me to give up my stalled 15-year 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 show for over six years doing over 700 interviews; media including TODAY, CNN, PBS Documentary, NPR, Woman’s Day, Prevention, AARP Bulletin cover story; on the Board of Directors of FAIR Foundation--advocating for Fair Allocations in Research funds from Congress and the NIH; a syndicated column, Q&A column and two blogs; and over 150 Keynotes--including to the California Governor’s Conference, numerous chapters of the Alzheimer’s Association and Area Agencies on Aging, the National Security Agency and Florida House of Representatives.
I also speak about surviving invasive breast cancer (six surgeries/numerous complications), sharing insights gained from both sides of the caregiving aisle. I stress the importance for everyone (especially caregivers) to closely monitor their own health--promoting the value of gratitude, affirmations, visualization and humor to overcome life’s challenges--and to never give up! (I also speak about writing and self-publishing.)
ELDER RAGE is a Book-of-the-Month Club selection (the first time a book on caregiving is ever selected), receiving 251 five-star Amazon reviews and being considered for a feature film. Over 50 endorsements include: Hugh Downs, Regis Philbin, John Hopkins Memory Clinic, Duke University Center for Aging and Harvard Medical School. The Addendum by renowned dementia specialist, Rodman Shankle, MS MD (former Medical Director UCI Alzheimer’s Center), makes it also valuable for healthcare professionals (including doctors) and required text at numerous universities for courses in geriatric assessment and management.

MY MISSIONS: To help improve eldercare laws; encourage long-term care planning/insurance; enlighten healthcare professionals how to better help families; provide solutions and hope to caregivers; advocate for fair funding from the NIH for Alzheimer’s and Breast Cancer 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
