    Power of Attorney or Medical Decision Maker?
    2026/09/09

    When a loved one is living with dementia, families may suddenly find themselves responsible for important financial and medical decisions. One of the biggest sources of confusion is assuming that one legal document gives someone authority to handle everything.

    In this episode, Lisa Skinner explains the difference between a Power of Attorney and a Medical Decision Maker, why these roles are often separate, and why both can be important when planning for dementia.

    The difference between financial and healthcare decision-making authority

    Why a financial Power of Attorney does not usually provide medical decision-making authority

    Why a Medical Decision Maker generally cannot manage finances

    Why planning should happen while the person with dementia still has the capacity to participate

    The importance of naming backup decision makers

    How advance directives and conversations about personal wishes can reduce confusion

    What can happen when these documents are not in place before a crisis

    Planning ahead can help families avoid delays, reduce uncertainty, and make sure the right person has the proper authority when important decisions need to be made.

    This episode is for educational purposes only and is not intended as legal advice. Laws and terminology vary by state, so families should consult an appropriate legal professional regarding their individual circumstances.

    Understanding and Supporting People Living with Dementia with Kandiee Campbell

    Season 5 of The Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s Show begins with an important conversation about dementia, communication, compassion, and better understanding the experience of those living with cognitive changes.

    In this episode, Lisa Skinner welcomes guest Kandiee Campbell for a thoughtful discussion about people living with dementia and the importance of meeting them where they are.

    Lisa and Kandiee explore how dementia can affect behavior, communication, emotions, and everyday interactions. They discuss why caregivers and family members may need to adjust their expectations, look beyond the behavior they are seeing, and respond with greater patience and understanding.

    The conversation also highlights the importance of preserving dignity and recognizing the person behind the diagnosis. Rather than focusing only on what someone can no longer do, this episode encourages listeners to consider what the person may be feeling, experiencing, or trying to communicate.

    In This Episode
    • Understanding how dementia can affect behavior and communication
    • Looking beyond difficult or confusing behaviors
    • Meeting a person living with dementia where they are
    • Responding with patience, compassion, and understanding
    • Recognizing emotional needs even when communication becomes difficult
    • Preserving dignity and personhood throughout the dementia journey
    • Supporting caregivers and families as they navigate changing needs

    This episode offers practical perspective and an important reminder that compassionate dementia care begins with understanding the person, not simply managing the diagnosis.

  • From Caregiver to Creator: The Story Behind KindredMind with Kirstin Thomas

    From Caregiver to Creator: The Story Behind KindredMind with Kirstin Thomas
    2026/08/26
    In this episode of Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s, Lisa talks with Kirstin Thomas, co-founder of KindredMind, about the personal caregiving journey that led her to create an AI voice companion for dementia families.Kirstin shares what it was like receiving repeated calls from her mom, who is living with frontotemporal dementia, and realizing that the calls were often less about the question being asked and more about the need for reassurance, familiarity, and connection.That experience inspired KindredMind, a voice companion designed to answer calls using the caregiver’s own voice, personal routines, and familiar memories. Kirstin also discusses how technology can be used to support both the person living with dementia and the caregiver without simply removing access to the phone or blocking calls.It’s a meaningful conversation about caregiving, innovation, and what can happen when a very personal challenge becomes the inspiration for a new kind of support.Visit our Website - https://www.mindingdementiasummit.com/About the Guest:Kirstin Thomas, co-founder of KindredMind a voice companion for dementia families. When repetitive calls happen, it answers and has conversations in the caregiver's own voice using personal routines and memories, easing anxiety while supporting caregiver relief instead of removing the phone or blocking calls.My mom has frontotemporal dementia. She lives in a memory care facility in Ontario, Canada. She calls me looking for my voice, the same question over and over, sometimes ten times before lunch. I could not always answer.Every caregiver in this situation eventually tries the same things. You block the calls. You let it go to voicemail. You take the phone away. You try to explain that you were just there, that you will be back soon, that everything is okay. None of it works, because the call was never really about the question. It was about the fear. And the fear resets every time, whether the call was answered or not.I searched for something that could meet that fear with warmth, every time, in my voice. I couldn’t find it. So I built it.KindredMind is a Canadian-based AI voice companion for dementia families that answers calls from loved ones living with dementia in the family caregiver's own cloned voice, calm, familiar, and present. Built on simulated presence therapy and Alzheimer Society of Canada communication guidelines. Available across Canada and the United States.Before KindredMind, my partner Patrick founded Snaile Inc., Canada’s leading smart parcel locker company. I worked closely alongside him as Chief Operating Officer and President, helping build and scale the business together. Snaile was acquired in 2024. I’ve brought everything we learned from building a Canadian tech company to the problem I couldn’t stop thinking about.Links:https://kindredmind.care/https://www.youtube.com/@kindredmindcareAbout the Host:Author Lisa Skinner is a behavioral specialist with expertise in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia.

Her #1 Best-seller book “Not All Who Wander Need Be Lost,” was written at their urging.

Lisa helps explain behaviors caused by dementia, encourages those who feel burdened, and gives practical advice for how to respond.So many people today are heavily impacted by Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. The Alzheimer's Association and the World Health Organization have projected that the number of people who will develop Alzheimer's disease by the year 2050 worldwide will triple if a treatment or cure is not found. Society is not prepared to care for the projected increase of people who will develop this devastating disease. In her 30 years of working with family members and caregivers who suffer from dementia, Lisa has recognized how little people really understand the complexities of what living with this disease is really like. For Lisa, it starts with knowledge, education, and training.Thanks for listening!Thanks so ...
