Caregivers Coffee is a place for people who care- for their families, their aging parents, and themselves. Let’s start making caregiving less overwhelming and a lot more rewarding, one small impactful step at a time. So, pour yourself a cup and let’s start navigating this caregiving journey.
After 20 years as a nurse, 17 of those as a Nurse Anesthetist, I’ve seen so many families caught off guard when a parent has a fall, a stroke, or some life altering event that changes the trajectory of their quality of life. It’s heartbreaking to watch loved ones scramble, often feeling lost and out of the loop about their parent’s medical history- or even their own. As someone in the Sandwich Generation myself, I understand how overwhelming it can be to support aging parents with their care while raising kids, managing work, and still trying to find time for yourself.
My hope is to make caregiving feel less stressful and more approachable by sharing simple, actionable steps and creating a supportive space where we can figure this out together. We can make this journey of caregiving easier and more meaningful.
Caregivers Coffee is about approachable, real-world solutions that address self care and care for our loved ones.
We are not about perfection, heavy reads, or unattainable standards. We all need more connection and support around caregiving.
