All Home Care Matters

The Caregiver's Journal hosted by Lance A. Slatton with Cindy (PT) & Christina (ST) Hardin-Weiss.

The Caregiver's Journal is the show where we are sharing the caregiving experiences, stories, and wisdom of family caregivers.

Chapter 4 - "Navigating Care":
In this journal entry, we welcomed Lisa Nigro who shared her caregiving journey and how she is "Navigating Care".
About Lisa Nigro:

Lisa Nigro has always served marginalized communities, beginning with her work in the Chicago Police Department and continuing with her work in founding the Inspiration Corporation, which has served the homeless community of Chicago for the last 30 years. Currently, she is a full-time caregiver to her son, who suffered a brain injury in 2015, leading her to advocate for the disabled community.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton welcome Katie Kristofic as guest to the show.

An entrepreneurial spirit, Katie Kristofic has always been drawn to companies and projects with a greater purpose. She founded The Carefullist in 2023, providing an online social community, resources, and support for family caregivers after her caregiving journey ended when her mom passed away from Alzheimer’s Disease.

Katie has over 20 years of marketing communications experience, including 15 years in Pharma and Biotech leading teams in strategic and promotional marketing, public relations, and crisis communications management. Katie previously held sales and regional account management positions with medical book and supply distribution companies.

She has a BA in Communication Studies from West Chester University and a Corporate Communications Certification from Cornell University. In addition to her passion for leveling the caregiving playing field, Katie enjoys comedy, baking, and spending time with her family.

About The Carefullist:

Caring for a family member is the ultimate act of love. We know, we've been there. It can also be challenging and lonely. We've been there, too. As a matter of fact, that's how The Carefullist began.

As the saying goes, when there is a diagnosis there are actually two new patients; the person receiving care and the person giving it. We share carefully vetted caregiving resources and tips, in addition to personal takes on grief, how that process often starts far before a loved one passes away, and how grief can occur with any life-altering change.

Everyone who finds themselves in the role of caregiver, as someone else’s “person”, deserves to have somewhere to turn that makes the journey go just a little bit smoother, feel a little less daunting, and hopefully, a lot less lonely.

We imagine a time when the resources and support family caregivers need are not only at their fingertips, but also found easily and come strongly recommended by trusted Carefullists who have walked this path before.
