Caregiver Roadmap
- Thinking about it.
My parents are in good health but I’ve watched them care for my grandparents and know it will be my turn in the future - Just starting on this path
I’m seeing some signs that things are a bit different and I don’t know how to start a conversation about starting to be of support. When I do, I’m met with resistance. - Neck deep in caregiving
Some days are good, others are totally exhausting. Sometimes I don’t know what to expect or when this will end. - Hospice and Final Decisions
I’m afraid of what’s next for my loved one, myself, and family. This is more difficult than anticpated. - After death, what’s next for me?
Myself, my family, my job/career?

Is This You too?
Hi, I’m Nancy May of CareManity LLC. 20 years ago, I unexpectedly, but willingly became my parent’s medical advocate and fiduciary, having been given their Durable Power of Attorney. This is my dad, Stuart, at 98, and me just before we boarded a helicopter together. Mom wouldn’t even go near the idea of a flight like this around a local harbor.
My Unexpected Caregiver Journey. It was quite a ride!
If you’re caring for your parents, spouse or another loved one, chances are you will go through some, if not most of the journey I went through. Here’s the inside story about how I kept my parents from financial ruin, medical catastrophes, and saved over $250k a year in care costs, and managed my own personal, physical, and financial stress, all from 1200 miles away.
I hear from many of us who “cry out for help” all the time. Little things, left unattended, often turn into disasters, even if you’re living close by. You might learn from some of the things I went through and share here.
Hang tight, you’re in for quite a ride!
