DEMENTIA & CAREGIVING RESOURCES
A Guide to Help You Navigate the Journey
Caring for someone with dementia can feel overwhelming—especially when you're trying to sort through endless information, conflicting advice, and emotional stress.
This page was created to simplify that process.
💡 Think of this as your starting point—not your entire roadmap.
Instead of sending you down a rabbit hole of hundreds of links (included in my books), I’ve carefully selected the most helpful, trusted, and practical resources to support you—whether you're just starting out or deep into the caregiving journey.
Legal Help When Something Goes Wrong
Most caregivers hope they will never need legal help. But when a loved one suffers a preventable injury, serious neglect, medication mistake, unexplained fall, wandering incident, abuse, or a wrongful death in a hospital, assisted living community, or nursing home, legal guidance may become necessary. The firms and legal resources listed here focus on negligence, abuse, and injury claims involving vulnerable adults and older patients.
