WIFE AND CAREGIVER
"I was utterly overwhelmed after my husband's dementia diagnosis. Everyone seemed to have an opinion on what to do next. This guide changed everything. It gave me clear next steps, practical tools, and immediate relief. I avoided a mistake, both in terms of time and money, and finally feel informed and more in control of this caregiving journey."
What Happens When the Caregiver System Assumes You'll Figure Care Out Alone?
Every year, millions of caregivers step into a caregiver role without warning, and without a roadmap. You're expected to manage medications, doctor visits, legal documents, finances, and emotional care...often with no formal training and little support.
Meanwhile, the system that’s supposed to help you is fragmented, confusing, and built for professionals, not families, friends and loved ones. No one tells you what to do first, what questions to ask, or how to protect your loved one from falling through the cracks.
Your loved one gets a diagnosis and wishes you luck.
No coordinated care. No action plan. No help desk.
This guide changes that.
The Caregiver’s Starter Guide is a clear, compassionate plan for navigating dementia care from day one. It offers a step-by-step actions and support you can actually use.
It’s time to stop scrambling and start caregiving with confidence.
Most caregivers are handed a diagnosis, and not a roadmap. This guide gives you 21 essential steps to organize care, ask the right questions, and take action with confidence from day one..
Caregiving decisions have financial consequences. From Medicare confusion to long-term care planning, this guide helps plan for care, anticipate expenses, and help you possibly avoid costly caregiving surprises.
Doctors aren’t always trained in dementia-specific guidance. You’ll get tools, scripts, and resources that many providers miss so you can speak up, ask the right questions, and get what your loved one needs.
Caregiving goes beyond paperwork and doctor's appointments. There's guilt, grief, burnout, and more. This guide gives you real strategies to protect your mental health and build a care plan that works for you too.

This 21-step guide for anyone caring for a loved one with dementia. Primary caregivers tend to be adult children or spouses who are new to caregiving and feeling overwhelmed. However, no matter your relationship to your loved one—family or friend—if you’ve ever said, “I don’t know where to start,” this is for you.
No. This Guide is not written by a doctor, financial advisor or lawyer, and does not replace professional medical or legal counsel. It’s an informational, experience-based resource to help you feel more prepared and confident.
Yes! Many caregivers find this Guide mid-journey and use it to fill in gaps, organize better, and regain a sense of control. You also may learn something you didn't already know!
While this Guide speaks heavily to Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia, the strategies, tools, and planning steps apply broadly to many dementia-related conditions, including Vascular Dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, and Frontotemporal Dementia. Even if your loved one hasn’t been formally diagnosed with dementia, many of the caregiving principles and tools inside can support a wide range of caregiving situations.
Along with the main guide, you’ll get several more resources, including 100 ways to support a caregiver, the 10 "Commandments" for effectively communicating with to your loved one, an activity guide by stage, 30 life story memory prompts, and helpful products suggestions—all designed to help make caregiving easier.
The full guide is over 120 pages of real content, no fluff. It’s designed to walk you through the caregiving journey at your pace, with tools you can return to again and again. The guide is a downloadable PDF that is easy to read, print, or store digitally. The additional bonuses and resources are also in a PDF or printable online Google Document or Sheet; all ready to use immediately. As the resources evolve, these file types will ensure that you have the latest version, automatically.
Immediately. After you purchase, you’ll receive a link to download the Guide and bonus tools right away. No waiting, no subscription.
While we don’t offer refunds on digital products, we stand by the value of this guide. Inside, you’ll find practical strategies to help you save time, reduce stress, and improve the care you provide. Many caregivers tell us they gain far more than the cost within just a few days of using the tools and tips. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out at [email protected]. We’re here to help.
