Are You A Family Caregiver Providing

End-Of-Life Care For A Loved One At Home?

You're In The Right Place.

We're here for you every step of the way, empowering you with expert nurse coaching and essential tools.

Facing the loss of a loved one is one of the most difficult times in life...

Providing end-of-life care for them should not be.

You know the feeling.

As a caregiver, sometimes finding a moment of peace
can feel like an impossible dream.

The demands of caregiving dominate your day,

leaving little time for your needs or time with your loved one.

You feel either isolated or overwhelmed--

and you have this nagging worry ...

"have I thought of everything?"

You pour everything you've got into caregiving,

juggling work and family,
sometimes even neglecting your own needs.

Who am I kidding?

MANY times you neglect your own needs.

The advice? Try harder. Do more. But how?

What holds you back isn't a lack of effort,

it's a lack of structured support,

knowledge, connection, and realistic self-care.

Someone to take you by the hand,

show you the ropes

and show you

how to plan, organize and prepare

for end of life caregiving in your home

step-by-step.

How to take the time to take care of yourself,

process your own grief, and maybe even catch a break.

You need realistic solutions for end of life caregiving

that make a real difference.

Knowledge is power, and

finding the right information

can transform stress into confidence.

Shift your caregiving experience from exhausting to empowering

Focus on what truly matters

Maximize the Moments.

Shared Stories...

"We are beyond grateful for your help. Your support during that rough patch with my Dad was invaluable. You helped us see things from his perspective and as you say "just get through it". That phrase alone helped me. He died yesterday, and we were able to have meaningful conversations and share memories before he passed. Thank you for your dedication to helping caregivers-your work is truly needed and appreciated. We can't express our gratitude enough." --S.C. Santa Barbara, CA

"I will never forget the day when I first called you. We were being hustled out of the hospital, not ready for hospice, but hospice was the only option they gave us. Mom wasn't ready for hospice yet, she just didn't want to go back to the hospital again. Thank you for helping us clarify our goals, telling us who we needed to talk to and how to communicate what she wanted and what we wanted for her. So grateful to be able to call someone in the heat of the moment to help us figure out next steps. Phenomenal service. Will definitely hire you again down the road when the time is right" --L.M. Lansing, MI

Hiring Darlene was the best money I ever spent. Her knowledge, her heart, and her guidance were priceless. She helped me find the joy and the meaning in taking care of my mom. I'll never regret it.--J.B. Chicago, IL

The best recommendation I could give is that I would gladly hire Darlene again. Worth every penny. Her knowledge, caring attitude, and helpful ideas really made a difference when we were dealing with mom's dementia. She helped me remember the joy and meaning behind the difficult care I needed to provide for my mom. Hiring her was the best money I ever spent.--J.W. Boise, ID

When I heard about caregiver coaches, I was excited because I've worked with coaches before. Caregiver Connections was even better than I expected. Learning about pain and how to manage it without medicine made a big difference for my mom who doesn't like to take meds. The leg massages and the compression socks she could actually wear relieved the swelling in her legs (finally!). The hospice doc says we can take the diuretic as needed now, which is awesome! Cuts down on the brief changes and all that too! Yay! We are both so grateful for your help thank you!!--D.L. Rochester NY

Nurse Darlene was wonderful! She really helped us communicate as a family so everyone knows what's going on. By listening to Dad she helped him feel in control, which is exactly what he needed. Our family learned how to work together and keep Dad safe without arguing. Focusing on his needs improved everything for everyone. If you're on the fence about hiring Caregiver Connections, just go for it-you'll be glad you did. C.H. Grand Rapids, MI

She’s taken care of thousands of hospice patients, and worked with thousands of caregivers and families of caregivers, teaching proven methods and solutions that help reduce caregiver stress and focus on what matters most: caring for your loved one, time with family & friends, and last but not least time for yourself to relax and recharge.
