Monica T.
Caregiver to her mom with vascular dementia
When my mother had a stroke, I went from being her daughter to her full-time advocate overnight. I was drowning in medical decisions, financial confusion, and guilt I couldn’t shake. The Caregiver’s Compass was the first thing that made me feel seen. It gave me scripts for hard conversations, checklists for emergencies, and—most importantly—the emotional permission to ask for help. I carried it with me to hospital meetings, read it in the car between appointments, and cried more than once reading the real-life stories. This guide gave me clarity, courage, and comfort at a time when I didn’t know which way was up. I can’t recommend it enough to anyone walking this sacred, difficult road.
Is Anyone Ever Really Ready to Become a Caregiver?
One day, you’re living your normal life—and the next, you’re making life-altering decisions for someone who once took care of you. Whether it begins with a fall, a diagnosis, or a quiet decline you can no longer ignore, stepping into the caregiver role is overwhelming, emotional, and often unexpected.
But you don’t have to face it alone.
The Caregiver’s Compass is a practical, compassionate roadmap for anyone navigating the chaos and complexity of elder care. Inside, you’ll find real stories, legal and financial checklists, conversation scripts, and emotional support to help you make confident choices every step of the way—from the first red flag to the final goodbye.
Whether you're just getting the call or already deep in the trenches, this book will help you protect your loved one—without losing yourself.
The need is here. The stakes are high. And this guide is your lifeline.
Fact: Most long-term care isn’t covered by Medicare.
Insight: Medicare only pays for short-term rehab, not ongoing home care, memory care, or assisted living. Families often discover this after receiving their first $10,000 bill.
Fact: Without proper documents, even family can be denied access to medical decisions.
Insight: Over 65% of adults over 60 lack a power of attorney or living will—meaning loved ones can be locked out during a crisis.
Fact: Up to 40% of caregivers suffer from clinical depression.
Insight: The emotional burden of care giving often goes unnoticed, even by the caregiver until burnout, resentment, or breakdown hits hard.
Fact: You don’t have to be poor to qualify for Medicaid help.
Insight: With legal planning, many middle-class families can access Medicaid waivers that cover thousands in monthly care—without losing their home or retirement.

Not at all. I started reading after I had already been caregiving for over a year, and I still found answers to questions I didn’t even know to ask. Whether you’re new to caregiving or deep in the trenches, it meets you where you are—with tools for every stage, from early warning signs to end-of-life care.
Absolutely. While it’s incredibly validating emotionally, it’s also packed with real-world tools—like legal document templates, financial planning tips, tour checklists for assisted living, and even exact scripts for tough conversations. It’s practical and heartfelt, which is hard to find in one place.
Yes. There’s guidance specifically for long-distance caregivers—how to coordinate local help, use tech like Alexa Care Hub, and manage communication with doctors and facilities remotely. It really helped me support my dad from another state without feeling totally helpless.
The difference is structure, depth, and heart. This isn’t a random list of tips—it’s a full roadmap from start to finish, written by someone who’s lived it. It connects all the dots—legal, financial, emotional, and practical—in one cohesive, compassionate guide that I’ve come back to again and again.
While the book is designed to be beginner-friendly, it also includes links to helpful communities, tool guides, and bonus resources to help throughout your journey.
