When someone you love begins to forget, the weight falls on more than memory. It settles into daily routines, family dynamics, and the quiet moments when you wonder if you're doing enough.
JANE FISCHER & ASSOCIATES invites the North Iowa community to "Mind, Memory & Meaningful Living," a seminar designed for anyone navigating the realities of brain health and caregiving. Whether you're supporting a parent, spouse, or planning ahead for your own future, this event offers practical guidance paired with authentic, lived experience.
Two Perspectives, One Mission
The seminar brings together Sam Cradduck and Angie Sly, two voices who approach dementia care from different but complementary angles.
Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist and care advocate who co-hosts the TV show "Aging Untold," will share professional insights grounded in real-world application. Her work focuses on translating complex health information into actionable steps that families can actually use.
Angie Sly approaches the conversation from the front lines. As an experienced caregiver, she'll share her "Daily Dose of Dementia" — personal reflections that capture both the challenges and unexpected moments of grace that come with caring for someone with memory loss.
What You'll Take Home
This isn't a clinical lecture. The seminar addresses the questions that keep caregivers up at night: How do you balance safety with dignity? When should you ask for help? What does good care actually look like on a Tuesday afternoon when everything feels overwhelming?
The session provides tools for managing day-to-day situations, understanding behavioral changes, and maintaining connection even as memory fades.
Why JANE FISCHER & ASSOCIATES?
Since 1992, JANE FISCHER & ASSOCIATES has served North Iowa families through major life transitions. Real estate decisions often intersect with caregiving realities — whether that means finding a home with accessible features, downsizing to a more manageable property, or exploring housing options that better support changing needs.
The agency's commitment extends beyond transactions. Hosting this seminar reflects an understanding that supporting the Mason City community means addressing the full spectrum of challenges families face.
Making Informed Decisions About Home and Care
For many North Iowa residents, questions about memory and aging naturally lead to questions about housing. Should you modify your current Mason City home? Is it time to consider a different property in Clear Lake? What features matter most when mobility or cognitive function changes?
These decisions benefit from both professional real estate guidance and a deeper understanding of care needs. Attending "Mind, Memory & Meaningful Living" equips you with knowledge that informs not just caregiving choices, but housing decisions that support quality of life.
Join the Conversation
The seminar creates space for honest dialogue about a topic many families face alone. You'll meet others walking similar paths, share concerns, and discover you're not navigating this alone.

Knowledge changes how we care. Connection reminds us why we do it. This seminar offers both.
