After the diagnosis, a plan.
The neurologist said the word, and the drive home was very quiet. This kit is the manual nobody hands you at that appointment, built for the sandwich years, when you are raising kids while parenting a parent.
Use this kit when
- The diagnosis just happened (dementia, Alzheimer's, vascular, MCI) and your head is static
- You need the words: telling your kids, the sibling who says she seems fine, the car keys
- The repeated questions and the 5 p.m. agitation are wearing the family down
- Sitters, aides, and siblings need to be useful without an hour of briefing
The Guide, 24 pages
The diagnosis week, the legal window (the timed one), the family system with scripts for your kids by age, the fraud shield, and the Hard Moments Playbook: answer the feeling, not the fact.
The Worksheet Pack, 17 forms
The baseline page, medication list, behavior and pattern log, driving transition plan, tour sheets, the job map, and Stages, Plainly.
The Care Sheet
One page that makes any sitter, sibling, or aide useful in thirty seconds.
The Quick Start
The diagnosis week on one page.
You can't fix the disease. You can make the logistics gentle.
A 24-page guide, 17 worksheets, the Care Sheet, and a two-page Quick Start. Built in the same system as every Goodstead kit: plain language, word-for-word scripts, named sources, and AI prompts that work in the free version of ChatGPT or Claude.
