First time author and self-publisher, Jacqueline Marcell, was a photographer who also taught at UCLA and then a television executive, but barely survived as a caregiver to her once-adoring challenging elderly father and sweet but ailing mother, both with Alzheimer’s which went undiagnosed for over a year. But after fighting through an unsympathetic medical system, endless tears, and depleting her parents’ life savings and much of her own, with sheer determination she figured everything out medically and behaviorally.

Passion to save others from a similar experience (especially from getting so frustrated they commit elder abuse) compelled Marcell to write her first book (written with a lot of humor to make a tough subject palatable), launch the popular ‘Coping with Caregiving’ Internet radio show to help caregivers worldwide, become an international speaker on caregiving and Alzheimer's, and become a tireless advocate for eldercare awareness and reform.

Marcell has been featured in key media including TODAY, CNN, PBS Alzheimer’s Documentary, AARP Bulletin cover story, Woman’s Day, Prevention, and has been interviewed on hundreds of radio and television programs. She has also spoken at hundreds of events including the California Governor’s Conference, National Security Agency (closed-circuit to 36,000 employees worldwide) and Florida House of Representatives.

Marcell received a Media Award from the National Adult Day Services Association—and ‘Advocate of the Year’ from the National Association of Women Business Owners at their Remarkable Women Awards.
