Season 7 Episode 2 You’re Not Crazy—The System Is Broken

If you’ve ever felt like dementia caregiving is a chaotic mess of appointments, medications, and unanswered questions—you’re not imagining it. In this powerful episode of Caregiver Secrets, host Reginald Reglus exposes the hard truth: the system is broken, and caregivers are left to pick up the pieces.

Backed by fresh data from the Alzheimer’s Association, we break down why 70% of caregivers report care coordination as their top stressor, and what the new Medicare GUIDE model is doing to change that. You’ll learn about global movements toward dementia care navigation, what’s working, and how you can advocate for the help you deserve.

This isn’t just another venting session—it’s a roadmap. You’ll walk away with fact-driven tips, trusted resources, and the bold reminder that you are not the problem.


In this episode:

  • Why care coordination feels like a second full-time job

  • The shocking statistic about caregiver stress you need to know

  • What the 2024 Medicare GUIDE model offers (and who qualifies)

  • Real-world steps to make the chaos more manageable

  • How The Risen Caregiver AI tool can help you stay sane
