Samantha Kortenhoeven helps her mother, Bobby Stephens, put on her jacket on Friday, Oct. 25, 2024, in their home in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Stephens battles diabetes and dementia, both requiring hands-on help from her daughter. “I started noticing subtle changes with her, like she’d leave the damn stove on and little things that she never used to forget,” Kortenhoeven said.
