“Natali Edmonds helps you move past the guesswork and into real solutions, giving you the tools to know exactly what to do instead of just hoping you're doing it right.”
You've read the articles. You've watched the videos. You've searched online at 2 a.m. But when your loved one refuses help, accuses you of stealing, becomes angry, asks the same question for the ninth time, or insists nothing is wrong, knowing why dementia happens doesn't necessarily tell you what to do in that moment.
You need to know what to do.
That's why I wrote The Dementia Care Toolkit. Not to explain dementia to you all over again, but to help you figure out what to do when the hard moments actually happen.
When a behavior catches you off guard...
Understand what may be driving it.
When what you've been trying isn't working...
Know what to try next.
When caregiving is taking a toll on you too...
Know how to care for yourself in the process.
The Dementia Care Toolkit
Inside the book, you'll find practical guidance for some of the most confusing and difficult parts of dementia caregiving.
From the book
Caregiving often gets easier when we stop telling ourselves we're doing something wrong just because it hurts.
Many caregivers believe that if a decision feels painful, it must be the wrong decision. But some of the hardest caregiving decisions are also the right ones.
Setting a boundary can hurt. Accepting help can hurt. Moving someone to memory care can hurt. Taking away the car keys can hurt.
Pain is not proof that you've failed.
Sometimes pain is simply the cost of loving someone through something neither of you asked for.
Every dementia caregiver deserves this book.
Dr. Natali Edmonds transforms overwhelming, heartbreaking moments into opportunities for understanding, connection, and confidence. The Dementia Care Toolkit is practical, compassionate, and full of the kind of real-world advice that truly makes a difference. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

“This masterful guide is an absolute lifeline for anyone navigating the profound complexities of Alzheimer's caregiving. By bridging the gap between clinical knowledge and daily reality, it delivers a transformative toolkit packed with actionable strategies for managing difficult behaviors.”
I'm Dr. Natali Edmonds, a board-certified geropsychologist and the founder of Dementia Careblazers.
For more than a decade, I worked with families in hospitals and clinics who were trying to figure out what to do after a dementia diagnosis. So often, they were given information about dementia, a follow-up appointment months away, and very little help for everything happening in between.
That's a big part of why I created Careblazers, and why I wrote this book.
I wanted caregivers to have practical guidance they could turn to when something hard was happening and they needed to know what to do next.
I wish this book were handed to every single dementia caregiver the moment they stepped into this role. Dr. Natali is a gift to the dementia community.
