IRENE OLSON

I write about that which I am most passionate: respect for all mankind, spreading kindness, and making a difference in the lives of others, one person at a time. My life experience and career path reflect those passions: assisted living and memory care employee, State long-term care ombudsman, and Alzheimer’s caregiver support group facilitator. I was my father’s caregiver during his struggle with Alzheimer’s disease and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I sincerely hope to live long enough to celebrate the first Alzheimer’s survivor.
