A peek inside the guide

Eight places to quietly check.

Eight places in the house that tell you more than any phone call. The kitchen, the mail, the stairs, and more.

01

The kitchen

Expired food, a full freezer of the same meal, pots with burn marks, an empty fridge.

02

The mail

Unopened stacks, past-due notices, several letters from the same company.

03

The stairs and the car

Holding the wall, new dents or scrapes, stopped driving at night without saying why.

Who we are

From a Connecticut family who does this every day

We're Sean and Bridget Smith, co-owners of A Touch of Love Home Care in Middletown. We're both Alzheimer's Association Certified Dementia Care Trainers. For 10 years, we've helped Connecticut families through this exact moment: the visit where you see something, and you're not sure what to do next.

We wrote this guide because most families don't need a big plan this weekend. They need to notice carefully, talk kindly, and know who to call.

Want to talk it through? There's no charge for the conversation, and we won't push you.(203) 927-7543
