Resources
Caregiving Guides
Longer, practical guides for the decisions families face, written to be read once, at the point of need.
Starting the conversation
A guide to raising difficult subjects with an aging parent: driving, finances, safety at home, and accepting help. It is built around scripts and openings, because the hardest part is almost always the first sentence.
The home safety walkthrough
A room-by-room checklist for reducing fall risk, covering the bathroom, stairs, lighting, flooring, and kitchen. Most of it can be completed in an afternoon for very little money.
Hospital discharge planning
What to ask before discharge, what to have ready at home, and how to manage the first 30 days. The window in which readmissions are most likely and most preventable.
Understanding dementia stages
What changes at each stage, what care typically looks like, and how to plan ahead rather than react. Includes guidance on when a home arrangement stops being viable.
Paying for care
A full breakdown of funding sources, eligibility, and the order in which to investigate them. See the dedicated page for the detail.
Have a question we haven't answered?
A care coordinator can talk through your situation: what care would look like, what it costs, and whether you need it yet.
