Remembering Together Episode #15- Not Done Yet- Living, Fighting, and Thriving with very early stage Alzheimer’s

In Episode 15 of Remembering Together, we sit down with Chris Gerardi, a man who once dedicated his life to helping seniors age with dignity, many of whom were living with dementia. As the former owner of Home Helpers, Chris spent years supporting families through one of life’s most difficult journeys. Now, Chris is facing a diagnosis he knows all too well: very early stage Alzheimer’s disease. But this is not a story of defeat. It’s a story of perspective, resilience, and an unrelenting fight to change the trajectory of what this diagnosis means, not just for himself, but for his family and for others walking a similar path. Chris shares what it’s like to go from caregiver to patient, how his past experience shapes his mindset today, and the intentional ways he’s choosing to survive, and thrive through it all. This episode is raw, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that even in the face of Alzheimer’s, there is still purpose, strength, and life to be lived.
