GATHER | Veronica Shanklin, Caregiver, CEO & Founder of Dementia Care Warriors

Gather Darlings

Today, we get to spend time with the wonderful, Veronica Shanklin!

Veronica is a dedicated full-time caregiver who has been taking care of her mom and late grandmother for over a decade. Living her best life in Chicago, she finds herself coming home to visit her mom, who was caring for her grandmother. Discover how her experiences led her to create the non-profit, Dementia Care Warriors and bring light and love to younger caregivers while disrupting the space with new ways to bring the community together.

We celebrate the spirit of hope and community of Dementia Care Warriors. Listen to how they are creating an open space for education, support, and resources.

Get a behind-the-scenes scoop filming "Wine, Women, and Dementia" with Kitty Norton, the real life stuff of caregiving, balancing the demands of caregiving and running a non-profit, managing burnout, connecting with younger caregivers, and we even talk about dating while caregiving. With a love of travel, she shares her tips for overcoming decision fatigue with travel groups!
