Start & orient

  • Home โ€” site overview, two orientation cards (caregivers / patients), the four-step "Where do I start?" path, and the deeper check-in.
  • Right Now โ€” In This Moment โ€” when everything feels like too much: what helps from the first 60 seconds through the rest of the week. For both caregivers and patients.

For caregivers

  • For Caregivers (overview) โ€” the caregiver section landing page; four path cards (Fatigue ยท Care Guides ยท Wellness ยท Right Now) and the prominent local-resources link at the top.
  • Understanding Caregiver Fatigue & Self-Check โ€” what fatigue is, common signs, the validated 22-question Burden Self-Check (presented one question at a time), the five-stage progression with what to do at each stage, and when to escalate.
  • 22-Question Burden Self-Check โ€” direct link to the validated ZBI-based caregiver burden self-check tool.
  • Caregiving Guides โ€” guides by level of support (Light ยท Moderate ยท Full), plus five trusted national training sources: AARP, Alzheimer's Association, Mayo Clinic, Family Caregiver Alliance, Teepa Snow.
  • Caregiver Wellness & Support โ€” recognizing burnout, common challenges, respite, work-life balance, and a deep set of expandable sections: building a support network, AARP & national caregiver resources, VA caregiver programs, FCA articles, anticipatory grief, and end-of-life support.

For patients

  • Patient Overview โ€” When the ground shifts under you. The patient section landing page with three path cards (Full guide ยท Right Now ยท Adjusting to a New Normal), a reassurance card pointing to Right Now, and the local-resources link at the top.
  • Full Patient Guide โ€” When everything changes. The comprehensive patient guide. Five honest stages of adapting (each with collapsible "What you may experience" and "What helps right now" sections), the eight cross-cutting anchors that always help (each linking to a Mayo Clinic / NIH-level source), signs that adjustment has crossed into something treatable, combined Moab resources & therapists section (both accordion-collapsed), plus the "Adjusting to a new normal" trusted resource guidance section.
  • Five Levels of Adapting โ€” direct link to the five-stage section.
  • The 8 Anchors that always help โ€” each anchor links to a credible clinical source (Mayo Clinic, NIH, AHRQ, U.S. Surgeon General, ACL, NIA).
  • Things You Can Do (any stage) โ€” the "This Moment" practice, the 3-foot radius, and other small practices that help in any stage. Each subsection collapses to an accordion to keep scrolling minimal.
  • Adjusting to a New Normal โ€” Trusted Resource Guidance โ€” the heart of the patient guide. Topical expand-cards covering coping, adjustment, care coordination, advance directives, end-of-life, and grief โ€” all linking to Mayo, NCI, NIH, APA, and Patient Advocate Foundation sources.
