This episode concludes a three-part series on family caregivers of dialysis patients. The audience will hear about the remarkable journey of Mrs. Denise Trahan, a mother caring for her thirty-year-old son who began receiving dialysis at the age of seven. Mrs. Trahan is an amazing caregiver that gives voice to universal issues experienced by many family members taking care of a loved one.
In their discussion, Cindy and the KIWK team highlight a few of the key topics featured in Mrs. Trahan’s interview such as, the need to prepare for healthcare costs not covered by traditional health insurance, Medicare or Medicaid benefits, how to find resources in the community to support family caregivers, and how faith, resilience, and positivity play major roles in helping caregivers be a good advocate for their loved ones and fulfill their own personal needs.
