Caring Smarter Tools and Tech for the Alzheimer's Journey: The Essential Guide for Alzheimer’s & Dementia Caregivers. A Consolidated Toolkit of Tools, ... to Reduce Stress and Improve Daily Life

Caring for a loved one with dementia is overwhelming. Finding the right tools shouldn’t be.

Most caregivers don’t know what technology exists to help them - and they don’t have the time or energy to research it all.

Caring Smarter: Tools and Tech for the Alzheimer’s Journey is a concise, compassionate guide written for caregivers who need clear answers now. Written by a devoted daughter who walked this road herself, this book brings together the most helpful caregiving tools and technology in one quick, easy-to-read resource.

Drawing from her experience caring for her mother through every stage of Alzheimer’s dementia, Elaine Johnson offers real-life insight and practical recommendations - without medical jargon or overwhelm. This is a guide you can read in one sitting and return to as needed.

Whether you’re just noticing early memory changes or you’re deep into hands-on caregiving, this book provides straightforward, actionable guidance, including:

• GPS trackers and safety tools for wandering and driving concerns

• Smartphones, simplified communication devices, Alexa, and video calling to stay connected

• Medication reminders, pill dispensers, and monitoring options to reduce missed doses

• Smart home tools such as thermostats, door locks, cameras, and motion sensors for added safety

• Kitchen and bathroom adaptations to help prevent falls, fires, and everyday hazards

Written with honesty, warmth, and clarity, Caring Smarter is designed to support caregivers without overwhelming them.

Caring Smarter makes a meaningful gift for:

• Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers

• Adult children supporting aging parents

• Friends or coworkers newly navigating caregiving

It’s a simple, supportive way to say:
“You don’t have to figure this out alone.”
