William Cohen

William Cohen (Questrom’74) of Tualatin, Ore., writes that after retiring from state employment after 25 years, he began his “encore” career. He is a caregiver support group leader and speaker, Alzheimer’s Association volunteer, Certified Senior Advisor, and a caregiving support consultant. His loving and talented mother, Sheila, lost her home to Hurricane Katrina. Then, she lost her health, the ability to create beautiful art, and, ultimately, her life due to Alzheimer’s. For almost 10 years, Bill was her primary caregiver and advocate. He is a guide for family caregivers, helping families cope with dementia care by coordinating and collaborating with their support teams. You can email Bill at bill@cohencaregivingsupport.com.
