- Elder Rage’ is her shocking true story of caring for her parents
Jacqueline Marcell, (advocate for eldercare awareness and reform) was so compelled by being the sole caregiver to her challenging elderly father and sweet but ailing mother (both with early Alzheimer’s which went undiagnosed for over a year), that when she finally figured everything out, medically and behaviorally, she gave up her (by then stalled) career as a television executive to become an advocate for eldercare awareness and reform.
Passion to save others from a similar experience (especially from getting so frustrated they commit elder abuse) “Coping With Caregiving” radio show and interviewing over 1500 healthcare professionals; media including TODAY, CNN, PBS Documentary, Woman’s Day, Prevention, AARP Bulletin cover story; and hundreds of presentations including at the California Governor’s Conference (replaced ailing Maureen Reagan), National Security Agency, and Florida House of Representatives.
Jacqueline also speaks about surviving breast cancer and the importance for everyone (especially caregivers) to closely monitor their own health.
She also speaks about writing, publishing, and securing celebrity endorsements, since her book has over fifty prestigious endorsements.
