The Dementia House Call Care Binder
Plain-language dementia education from a physician who makes house calls — for the family members who do the real, daily work of caregiving.
No jargon, no fear-mongering, no miracle promises. Just the practical things a doctor wishes every family knew, explained the way we'd explain them at your kitchen table.
The Care Binder
Everything the care team needs to know — in one place, in your hands.
A practical, fill-in binder for families caring for someone living with dementia. The family member with a binder changes the appointment: care gets better, visits get shorter, fewer things fall through the cracks.

Who this comes from
Written from the hallway, not the lecture hall
The Dementia House Call is created by a Canadian physician who makes dementia house calls — in care homes and living rooms, with the families doing the real work. These tools are the ones we reach for in practice, translated into plain language for the kitchen table.
