START HERE: Find the Right Toolkit for Your Caring Situation
Caring for someone you love can feel overwhelming, confusing, and lonely.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
This page will help you quickly choose the toolkit that best fits your caring role, your loved one’s needs, and how much support you want.
Everything here is created by a UK-registered Occupational Therapist (OT) with professional, hands-on, and lived family caring experience.
Take a breath. You’re in the right place.

STEP 2: Which description sounds most like you?
1. The Overwhelmed Daughter
“I’m terrified of doing something wrong.”
“I just want to help safely without hurting them — or myself.”

Choose Premium if you also want expert guidance to stay ahead of changes.
2. The Concerned Adult Son
“I just need someone to tell me the safest way to do things.”
