Dementia caregiving guides

For the moment you didn't see coming.

Nestora Gold turns published dementia-care research into short, practical guides for the exact moments that catch caregivers off guard โ€” written by a gerontologist, for the family sitting on the edge of the bed at 2am wondering what to do next.

Evidence-based ยท Written by an MSc Gerontologist ยท No fluff, no jargon

A real caregiving moment

"She stopped recognising herself in the mirror. She thought a strange woman โ€” a witch, she said โ€” had moved into the house."

โ€” from "The 5 Hardest Moments in Dementia Care." We removed the mirrors, and replaced them with photos of her at 30. The fear stopped that week.

Why Nestora Gold

Built on the research. Written for real life.

Evidence-based

Grounded in systematic reviews and established frameworks โ€” the Montessori approach, Validation Therapy, Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Care, and BPSD research โ€” not opinion.

Written with real stories

Every guide is anchored in real caregiving moments โ€” mirrors, wandering, sundowning, fear โ€” so you recognise the situation before you even finish the page.

Practical, not clinical

No jargon, no 40-page textbooks. Just what to do, why it works, and how to adapt it to your own person and your own home.

The guides

Two guides. One goal: fewer moments faced alone.
