THE HOST:
Jacqueline Marcell was so compelled being the sole caregiver to her (once-adoring) challenging elderly father and sweet but ailing mother (both with Alzheimer’s which went undiagnosed for over a year), that once she figured everything out medically, behaviorally, socially, legally, financially and emotionally — she gave up her stalled career as a television executive to become an author, radio host, speaker, and advocate for Alzheimer’s and eldercare awareness and reform.
Passion to save others from a similar experience (especially from getting so frustrated they commit elder abuse), resulted in her bestselling book, written with humor to make a tough subject palatable, ‘ELDER RAGE, or Take My Father… Please! How to Survive Caring for Aging Parents’. A Book-of-the-Month Club selection, ELDER RAGE, has received 300+ 5-Star Amazon reviews and over 50 endorsements including Johns Hopkins Memory Clinic, Duke University Center for Aging, Dr. Rudy Tanzi/Harvard Medical School, Dr. Nancy Snyderman, Hugh Downs and Regis Philbin. The Addendum by renowned neurologist, Dr. Rodman Shankle MD, helped make it required reading at numerous universities for courses in geriatric assessment and management. It is also being considered for a film.
Marcell’s media includes TODAY, CNN, PBS Alzheimer’s Documentary, NPR, AARP Bulletin cover story, Woman’s Day and Prevention. She is also an international speaker, presenting at hundreds of events including the California Governor’s Conference for Women, National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, Alzheimer's Association, Area Agencies on Aging, National Security Agency, and Florida House of Representatives.
