Karen Stobbe on Caregiving

Karen Stobbe was an actress and director. When her dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease she became a caregiver. In learning how to best care for her father, Stobbe's life in theater gave her tools she could use. She now travels the country sharing what she learned with others. IPR's Charity Nebbe speaks with Stobbe, author of "Sometimes Ya Gotta Laugh." She also speaks with Prof. Mercedes Bern-Klug, Prof. of Social Work and head of the Aging Studies Program at the University of Iowa. Find more information at www.in-themoment.com.
