Bill Cohen’s loving and talented mother, Sheila, lost her home to Hurricane Katrina. 

Then, she lost her health, ability to create beautiful art and, ultimately, her life due to Alzheimer's.

For almost 10 years, Bill was her primary caregiver and advocate, not just her son. He turned his personal loss into his passion supporting other caregivers across North America. 
 
After “retiring” from state employment eight years ago, Bill is a caregiver support group and memory café leader, a podcast guest, a speaker, a trained elder mediator, and a caregiving support consultant. 
He has completed several caregiving courses through the Alzheimer's Association and the Society for Certified Senior Advisors (CSA)®, and earned business degrees from Boston and Portland State Universities. 
 
Bill is a native New Englander and lives in the Portland, Oregon area with his wife and supporter, Lori.
