The Caregiver’s Journey Eliminates the Guesswork with New Navigating Dementia Caregiving Roadmap

Atlanta, GA – September 10, 2025 – Qwoted Newswire – The Caregiver’s Journey®, a nonprofit organization that produces an award-winning podcast and shares free resources to support dementia family caregivers, has launched a comprehensive new guide – the Navigating Dementia Caregiving Roadmap. This was announced today by The Caregiver’s Journey Founders Sue Ryan, ACC™ and Nancy Treaster, CCC™, longtime friends who have lived the frustrations and feelings of isolation, overwhelm and uncertainty of being dementia family caregivers themselves.

“When a loved one receives a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, or other type of dementia, family caregivers suddenly find themselves drowning in conflicting information or struggling to find the right resources at all,” said Treaster. Many caregivers feel overwhelmed because they can’t locate the information they need, others are buried under so many resources they don’t know what to prioritize. “Doctors focus on caring for the patient, but caregivers are left wishing someone would just tell them what’s important now, what can wait until later, and what they don’t need to worry about at all. Our Navigating Dementia Caregiving Roadmap changes that by providing a structured framework that maps the right resources to each stage of the caregiving journey.”

With the Navigating Dementia Caregiving Roadmap, the caregiving journey doesn’t have to feel like guesswork. Knowing what resources to access, where to find them, and when and how to use them, fundamentally changes how confidently family caregivers navigate their caregiving journey. From the three stages, In the Beginning (initial diagnosis), through the “Messy Middle,” to the Later On stage, The Navigating Dementia Caregiving Roadmap is designed to help caregivers:

• Identify which stage of the caregiving journey they’re in and access resources that match the specific stage.

• Discover the power of looking around the corner (but not too far) to anticipate changing support needs.

• Prioritize what’s important now and what can wait until later.

• Build a proactive plan with services and resources that evolve alongside their loved one’s changing needs.

The Navigating Dementia Caregiving Roadmap is a key component in The Caregiver’s Journey mission: To empower dementia family caregivers with the knowledge and resources they need to build confidence, patience, and peace of mind. From day-to-day dementia care, legal and financial planning, to finding support networks and learning the right skills at the right time, the roadmap cuts through the confusion with practical, digestible guidance that gets straight to the point and directs caregivers to the most important steps at each stage of their journey.

“This new resource is so valuable for the caregiving journey,” said Ryan. “Our passion is for dementia family caregivers to learn faster and more easily than we did, because we’re all on this journey together.”
