Guidance. Confidence. Support.
Better Dementia:
When dementia changes, caregiving has to change.
Understand dementia. Care with confidence.
Dementia Caregiver Guidance for Every Stage of the Journey
Caring for someone with dementia often becomes harder when what used to work no longer does. Changes can feel sudden, confusing, or difficult to explain, leaving caregivers reacting without a clear understanding of what is happening or what comes next.
Better Dementia™ helps caregivers understand the what, when, and why of dementia so they can master the how of caregiving with clarity and confidence. By understanding how the brain changes over time—and how those changes affect abilities, behavior, and care needs—you can respond more effectively instead of relying on trial and error.
This self-paced course is designed to give you clarity before crisis, along with practical understanding you can return to as caregiving needs evolve.

Who This Course Is For
This course is designed for family and professional caregivers who want a clearer understanding of dementia and how to respond as needs change.
This course is a good fit if you are:
-
Caring for someone with dementia and feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or constantly reacting
-
Navigating changing care needs, medical decisions, or upcoming transitions
-
Seeking practical, clinically grounded guidance you can return to over time
-
A professional caregiver who wants a deeper understanding of dementia caregiving from a clinical perspective
You do not need a medical background.
You do not need to watch everything at once.
This course is meant to meet you where you are.
How the Course Is Structured
This is a self-paced course designed to fit into real life.
You can:
-
Watch one lesson at a time or several in a row
-
Return to specific topics as your loved one’s needs change
-
Learn in the order that feels most helpful to you
The course is organized into 12 focused lessons with short, practical videos. No single video is longer than 20 minutes, and many are much shorter.
Caregivers often revisit sections as their loved one moves into a new stage. For that reason, this course is designed to be a reference you return to over time, not a one-time pass-through.
In total, the course includes approximately 7.5 hours of clinically guided content, meant to be watched gradually—not all at once.
How This Course Fits With Other Support
Some caregivers begin with this course to build a foundation of understanding. Others use it alongside more personalized guidance.
This course stands on its own.
If you later decide you want one-on-one support as your situation evolves, that option is available—but there is no expectation or pressure to do so.
You are free to choose the level of support that feels right for you.
How This Course Comes Together
Taken together, this course teaches caregivers everything they need to understand and navigate the dementia journey from beginning to end.
It provides a clear, clinically grounded understanding of what is happening, why it is happening, when changes are likely to occur, and how to respond thoughtfully and effectively as the journey unfolds—so caregivers can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and steadiness over time.
“Things unfolded exactly the way Amy said they would. Because we understood what was coming, we were prepared—and we trusted her completely with both our parents’ care.”

You Don't Have to Do This Alone
Dementia caregiving can feel like a never-ending storm—filled with confusion, exhaustion, and guilt. Amy has seen firsthand how the right guidance can completely transform a caregiver’s experience.
Just recently, Amy worked with a daughter caring for both of her aging parents, each with dementia. At the start of their conversation, she was in tears, overwhelmed by the weight of caregiving. By the end of their consultation, she was smiling, laughing, and imagining something she hadn’t thought possible—a day with nothing on the calendar.
This is why Amy does what she does. Her framework and teachings don’t just help the person with dementia; they change the experience for the entire family.
If caregiving feels overwhelming, there’s a better way. With the right support, caregivers can replace stress with clarity, exhaustion with confidence, and even find moments of peace and joy again.
