Beyond Care makes practical guides for daughters navigating a parent’s dementia, built by Kylie Goldman, MSW, a social worker with more than 12 years of clinical practice with families, who watched her own family navigate her grandmother’s dementia.

The First Call is free and two pages, for once a diagnosis is in play: the eight questions to ask in the room, three things to bring, and what to write down before you leave. Get it here.
