From Midnight Call to National Model: The Glenner Legacy in Dementia Care
In this episode, host Jacqui Clark sits down with Lisa Tyburski, Chief Marketing Officer of the George G. Glenner Alzheimer’s Family Centers, to explore the extraordinary legacy of Dr. George and Joy Glenner. What began as a desperate midnight call from an overwhelmed caregiver grew into a nationwide model for dementia care.
Lisa shares how the Glenner Centers pioneered adult day programs that give people living with dementia safe, engaging spaces while providing caregivers much-needed respite. The conversation also highlights the groundbreaking creation of Town Square—an immersive 1950s-style community complete with a diner, movie theater, and vintage car—that uses reminiscence therapy to spark joy and connection.
From Dr. Glenner’s landmark discovery linking beta amyloid protein to Alzheimer’s research to the expansion of franchised Town Squares across the country, this episode shines a light on a legacy of hope, innovation, and compassion for families navigating dementia.
