Navigating long-term care for someone you love can feel overwhelming. After years of caregiving for my husband and mother, I'm sharing what I've learned, along with a free printable toolkit to help families make informed decisions.

I began creating my monthly Ways to Connect pages as part of my role on Family Council, but the idea came from something much more personal. I was looking for new ways to engage with my mom as her dementia progressed. As communication became more difficult, I sometimes found myself sitting with her and not knowing what to say or what we could do together to make our visits feel meaningful. That experience made me think about how many other families must feel the same way. Vis
