Dave Nassaney has been caregiving for his beautiful wife, Charlene, for the last 27 years due to a massive stroke that left her unable to speak and paralyzed on the right side. She still cannot speak, but she is great at communicating through Pictionary and Charades, two games Dave is learning to love. 

She still cannot walk but has a power wheelchair that goes faster than he can, and they travel the world sharing his message to Caregivers, “How to prevent your loved ones, illness or disease from actually killing you.”

In the last 7 years, despite his caregiving and gas station responsibilities, Dave Nassaney has appeared on 57 network TV morning shows from Hawaii to Washington, DC. 

He's a best-selling author, hosts his # 1 rated "Caregiver Dave" podcast and syndicated radio show, has a movie that's being made about his life as we speak, and has spoken at the following venues: Harvard, NAZDAQ, Carnegie Hall, West Point, London Stock Exchange, New York Academy of Medicine, New York Bar Association, Mercedes, Coca Cola, CNN Center, Ted Talk Conference, Hawaii Pacific Gerontological Society, University of Hawaii Center on Aging, Hawaii State Public Library System, WABC Radio in New York and many hospitals and caregiver support groups. 

Today our session is a very candid conversation about caregiving. Dave is offering for the first time a wonderful mastermind retreat in Acapulco on June 16-23, 2023.  

In this session we will discuss: 

·      How caregiving started (without much notice)

·      Wisdom from a “wise” guy: “5 Min. of Dave’s Hammock Wisdom” video series

·      The 3 biggest mistakes caregivers make that put them at risk of death and the hospital

·      Dave’s CARE formula for surviving burnout

·      The grief process and how a caregiver can avoid always feeling guilty

·      The free membership website CaregiverDave.com, and the best ways to join his team of support

·      When looking at statistics that include that 30% of caregivers die before their loved one, 40% of caregivers die before their loved one if their loved one has Alzheimer’s, and 70% of people who are caregivers over the age of 70 die before the person they are caring for (from stress), it is important to reach out and ask for help. 

Be one of the first to attend Dave’s current project which is a caregiver training, Mastermind, and wellness retreat/vacation in beautiful Acapulco Mexico in a gated community billionaire Villa. It is an all-inclusive caregiver wellness package that is a prescription for Burnout, guaranteed to improve your health and possibly save your life.
