In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Caregiver Conversations, hosts Kristie King and Antonia Harbin Lamb sit down with Belinda Croft, Program Manager of the Daybreak Adult Day Program at Hannan Center, to talk honestly about dementia, caregiving, emotional resilience, and the importance of support, dignity, and community. Belinda shares her personal caregiving journey, why this work is deeply meaningful to her, and how Daybreak provides not just care for older adults living with dementia — but relief, guidance, and real partnership for families. This conversation explores caregiver identity, emotional fatigue, sundowning, seasonal challenges, compassion, safety, home strategies, support groups, and why caregivers deserve care too. If you or someone you love is navigating dementia care, this episode reminds you that: 💛 You are not alone 💛 Support exists 💛 Caregiving is love — but you also deserve care
