Maxwell TEC is a proud sponsor of Last Visit First with Tom Maxwell, a podcast bringing leaders, innovators, and caregivers together to talk honestly about the choices shaping the future of home health and hospice.
Debbie Compton planned to retire from her corporate career. Instead, she spent 21 years as a family caregiver for three loved ones with three different diseases: her father with Parkinson's, her mother with vascular dementia, and her mother-in-law with Alzheimer's. Today she is the founder of The Purple Vine, a certified caregiving consultant and advocate, and the author of multiple international bestselling books for caregivers.
In this episode, Debbie sits down with Tom Maxwell to share the hard-won lessons nobody teaches family caregivers: why you should never argue with someone living with dementia, how music therapy can bring back precious moments, how to choose a memory care facility, and why families so often call hospice far too late.
