Dallas – A day of celebration, love, and giving will unfold in Dallas on February 16, 2025, as caregivers of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and aging-related illnesses are honored with an inspiring fundraiser and concert featuring jazz greats Gerald Albright, Will Downing, and Julian Vaughn.
In collaboration with the concert’s producer, Finding New Tomorrows Founder and your Caregiver Coach Pat Bailey will take center stage to salute the caregivers. She is planning a daylong tribute, starting with an awards brunch, at the Music Hall at Fair Park in Dallas. The private brunch will precede the concert, offering a VIP reception, caregiver awards, and respite grants to provide much-needed support for those on the caregiving journey.
As an ordained pastor, certified belief therapist, certified dementia practitioner, and marketing executive, Bailey is dedicated to sharing valuable lessons learned after caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s for seven years. The experience helped Bailey identify health disparity gaps in caregiver education. She has built a virtual “Caregivers Circle” at https://findingnewtomorrows.com to help families understand and overcome hurdles related to financial, mental, emotional, and legal challenges that affect caregivers – especially in underserved communities.
Bailey said, “We want to show caregivers compassion and lift them during a phase of life that can be lonely.”
Bailey’s website and her coaching service offer a comprehensive guide to navigating the caregiver phases for families as they face important decisions related to aging.
She emphasizes that “navigating Alzheimer’s caregiving in America is a challenging journey, particularly for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities disproportionately impacted by aging-related diseases and health disparities.”
Her coaching methodology is designed to address health equity among underserved communities.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias. Nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s. By 2050, this number is projected to be nearly 13 million.
