Have you ever felt overwhelmed searching for the right information at the right time, or found yourself drowning in conflicting resources that leave you more confused than when you started? You’re not alone. Dementia family caregiving is a long journey, and it looks very different depending on where you are in it.


We are Sue Ryan and Nancy Treaster. As caregivers for our loved ones with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia, we built the Navigating Dementia Caregiving Roadmap to help you find the right resources at the right time. As with all our resources, it’s a free, 20-step roadmap available on our website thecaregiversjourney.org. The roadmap page also includes a self-assessment tool to help you identify which caregiving stage you’re in right now. Revisit this assessment tool throughout your caregiving journey to help you know the caregiving stage you’re currently in.


Let’s walk through the three distinct stages of dementia family caregiving so you know what to expect and where to focus your energy.

If our self-assessment tool shows you are further along in your journey, start there. Once you feel confident in where you are, we encourage you to go back and explore the earlier steps. You may find helpful tips that apply to where you are today, even if those steps were designed for an earlier part of the journey.
