Who takes care of the person who takes care of everyone else?

Thousands of family caregivers across Southeast Louisiana answer that question every day.

They manage medications. Coordinate appointments. Advocate. Comfort. Sacrifice. And too often, they carry the weight alone.

This Thursday, June 11, Dr. Ricardo Febry, Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Care Associates, joins Great Day Louisiana host Malik Mingo for an important conversation about caregiver burnout, common misconceptions about hospice care, and how families can find support before reaching a crisis.

Who cares for the caregiver?

This morning, I had the opportunity to step behind the scenes at WWLTV as Ricardo Febry, M.Sc., M.D., Founder/Chief Medical Officer of Care Associates, joined Emmy-nominated host Malik Mingo on 'Great Day Louisiana' for a conversation that will resonate with many Louisiana families.

Every day, family caregivers sacrifice, juggle, advocate, comfort, and persevere—often at the expense of their own health and well-being. In this special segment, Dr. Febry addresses caregiver burnout and challenges misconceptions about hospice care, illustrating how support, comfort, dignity, and quality of life can transform the caregiving journey.

Having cared for loved ones affected by Alzheimer’s disease, I understand these challenges firsthand. If you’re caring for a parent, spouse, family member, or friend, be sure to tune in to this important conversation.

What happens when the person holding your family together begins falling apart?

Across Louisiana, nearly 900,000 family caregivers quietly sacrifice sleep, careers, finances, and peace of mind to care for aging parents, spouses, and loved ones living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and serious illness. More than 221,000 Louisiana caregivers are now caring for someone living with dementia — many while juggling jobs, children, and overwhelming exhaustion.

Too many families wait until a crisis happens before asking for help.

A fall.
Wandering.
Medication mistakes.
Caregiver burnout.
An emergency room visit.

What happens when dementia changes a loved one’s world — and family caregivers are left trying to manage the journey alone?

In a powerful U.S. News and World Report article, healthcare researcher Neal K. Shah highlights the emotional and physical toll dementia caregiving can place on families through the story of Bruce Willis and his family’s experience with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). One important reminder stands out: caregivers need support too.

That’s why integrated senior services like those offered by Care Associates are so important throughout Southeast Louisiana. From Serious Illness Medicine and Certified Care Navigation to Adult Day Health Care, Personal Home Care, Hospice & Palliative Care, and dementia-focused support, our team helps seniors and family caregivers navigate aging-related challenges with compassionate, coordinated care.

What happens during the final stage of Alzheimer’s disease — and how can families prepare with compassion, dignity, and support?

In her insightful article for Being Patient Alzheimer’s, Lauren Fetten explains what families may experience during the late stages of Alzheimer’s disease. As the disease progresses, many individuals gradually lose the ability to communicate, walk, eat independently, or care for themselves. The article also highlights how infections, swallowing difficulties, and other serious complications often become major health concerns during this stage of the disease.

The article reminds families that comfort, dignity, and compassionate support matter deeply during end-of-life care. Hospice and palliative care services can help manage symptoms, reduce stress, and guide loved ones through difficult decisions during an emotional and overwhelming time.

At Care Associates, we are committed to supporting patients and family caregivers across Southeast Louisiana through physician-led Hospice & Palliative Care, Serious Illness Medicine, Certified Care Navigation, and dementia-focused support services designed to help families feel informed, supported, and less alone throughout every stage of the journey.
