Why Share This Dementia Caregiving Journey?

The short answer is because the four- to eight-year dementia and Alzheimer’s caregiving journey after diagnosis really requires a plan. Each person’s caregiving journey with a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia (aka neurodegenerative disease) is very personal. I’m sharing my caregiving journey so that others currently on theirs or about to embark on theirs can benefit from our experiences, mistakes, and lessons.

This website augments my caregiver guidebook It’s Not That Simple: Helping Families Navigate the Alzheimer’s Journey, a resource full of tips, tools and experiences to help with the myriad decisions those supporting loved ones with dementia and Alzheimer’s encounter.

Most importantly, I offer family members answers to their caregiving questions and a customized plan based on the phases of their caregiving journey so they can prepare emotionally, physically, financially, and mentally for the changes ahead. In addition, I walk this journey with you through private, one-to-one conversations, text messages, and emails so you have the support you deserve.

My mission is to help family members live their journey without guilt or regret but instead, to be able to look back on their time with their loved one with peace of mind, knowing they did the best that they could. Don’t you and your loved one deserve that kind of support?

About Pam Ostrowski, the Author of It’s Not That Simple

I’m Pam Ostrowski. I felt called to write It’s Not That Simple: Helping Families Navigate the Alzheimer’s Journey after my 14-year dementia and Alzheimer’s journey with my parents.

If this is your first journey with dementia and Alzheimer’s, you want a guide who has walked in your shoes and invested in understanding senior healthcare and dementia in all aspects.

That’s why I became a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)®, a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP®), and Certified in Dementia Care® (CDC®). Read more details about my dementia and Alzheimer’s journey with my parents. Read more details about my dementia and Alzheimer’s journey with my parents.
