Care Logistics
Beyond the emotional decisions and financial planning, caregiving involves a substantial amount of practical, unglamorous logistics — legal paperwork, home modifications, coordinating moves — that's easy to underestimate until you're in the middle of it. This section is the practical backbone of the site: concrete, actionable content covering the logistics that make everything else in the other pillars actually executable.
Future expansion of this pillar (beyond the article below) would reasonably include: a home safety modification checklist beyond dementia-specific needs, a guide to organizing a parent's important documents and accounts, what to know about moving a parent's belongings and downsizing a home, and coordinating movers/logistics for an out-of-state relocation to be near family.
