Listen to Alzheimer's caregivers June Yasuhara and Dr. Christine Nguyen on how they navigated their caregiving journey and why it's important for AANHPI voices to be heard in research.
My English name is Andree Guo. I came from Shanghai and have been living with my mom since then. I came here in 1990 and have been living with my mom for many years.
I want to add that my mom was very independent before she got ill. Just think about she came to the US alone, worked here, learned English here, attended tutoring classes, and drove herself.
My name is Mi-kyung, last name Nam. I was born in Seoul, South Korea and grew up in a conservative Christian household with four older sisters and one younger brother. I moved to the United States when I was 23 and have been living here for almost 30 years now.
My name is Cherina Tinio. I am here to share the lessons learned, a daughter’s story on dementia care. I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. I am a retired registered nurse. I migrated to the United States in 1983 together with my 3 older siblings.
You took care of me, now it’s my turn to take care of you. My name is June Yasuhara. I was born in San Jose where I have lived all my life. I am the primary caregiver to both my Japanese parents who have dementia.
My name is Tess Estrin and this is my experience as a Filipino family member caring for my mother who has dementia. I am a retired registered nurse who was born and grew up in the Philippines.
My name is Virgina Lorilla, but my maiden name is Virginia Lobaton. I was born in the Philippines and I grew up there. I migrated to the United States in 1981, so I think I was 23 or 24 or around that time.
Okay, so this is about my mother Toshiya Tanaguchi. She was a senior that would regularly go to Yu-Ai Kai for senior activities and then she began to live in my home after my kids were all grown up and away, and I was able to have a separate bedroom and bathroom for her.
My name is Urmila and I am from India. My husband is also from India, we are from UP (Uttar Pradesh). In 1966, he came to USA. After three to four months, I also came with my younger son. After coming here, he had a small accident of his hand.
Many people don’t recognize dementia, and not recognizing it can lead to death. Most caregivers are unprepared to manage dementia in their own family.
My name is Jaya and I was born in India, moved to USA in 1976, first to Cleveland, Ohio and then from there to San Francisco-Fremont, California and have been living here since then
