Today I am joined by Richard Bates. Richard is a publisher and was thrown into his own caregiving story as his father became increasingly taken by dementia.

He has put together a collection of essays by many well-known people who describe their own reality and feelings that are enlightening, even entertaining.

Unpaid caregivers from all backgrounds feel invisible and he hope his book with raise visibility and awareness at the highest levels of government and within society as a whole.
