You're Not Failing. The System Is. Discover the Support, Clarity, and Tools You’ve Always Needed But Were Never Given.

Introducing the Dementia Caregivers Academy - A membership created by

a nurse practitioner who’s sat at over 10,000 kitchen tables and knows

what you’re facing, because she’s helped families just like yours.

The Truth Most Caregivers

Never Hear

If your loved one is acting out…

if the wandering won’t stop…

if the outbursts leave you questioning everything — it’s not your fault.

And it’s not a failure of love or effort.

It’s a failure of the system to give you the real tools.

That’s what the Dementia Caregivers Academy is here to change.

What You’ll Find Inside the Membership:

A Complete Behavior + Care Course 5 modules. 21 lessons. Focused on why behaviors happen — and what actually helps.
Live Monthly Support Sessions Ask your questions. Get real answers. Or watch the replay when it works for you.
Office Hours with Laura Weekly mini-lessons to walk you through tough topics like aggression, sundowning, and more — with a live Q&A to make it personal.
My Story & MAP Planning Tools Tools to help you build a plan, tell your person’s story, and get the entire care team on the same page.
Practical Tools & Templates Downloadable guides, checklists, and cheat sheets — updated monthly.
Private Community You’re not alone. Inside the Academy, you’ll find support from others who truly get it.

Self-paced, guided, and personalized options available

Why Now?

Because your time, peace, and energy are too valuable to waste on strategies that don’t work. Because you deserve tools that meet your needs — not just your loved ones.

Because clarity is possible — and you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone.

“I didn’t choose geriatrics. It chose me. This work became too loud to ignore — and this Academy is the result of thousands of house calls, tearful kitchen table conversations, and a fierce desire to do better.”

Laura Wilkerson, FNP

THE SHIFT YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR — AND WHY IT HASN’T COME

Let's Be Honest

You’ve tried the memory boards, the music therapy, the redirection tips.
You’ve been told to “take care of yourself” by people who have no idea what

your day actually looks like.

And still… you’re stuck in the same loop:

Outbursts that feel like personal attacks
Wandering that turns your house into a surveillance zone

Questions that repeat until you snap — then feel guilty

Not because you're doing it wrong —But because no one gave you a system that

includes you.

THAT’S WHAT THIS MEMBERSHIP FIXES

The Dementia Caregivers Academy isn’t more advice.

It’s the complete system you’ve needed all along.

It’s built around the COMPASS Framework — a simple, powerful method for turning scattered information into a care plan that finally makes sense.

✅ The Complete Dementia Care Course

This isn’t just a few modules and tips — it’s the roadmap no one gave you.

5 core lessons. 21 expert-led modules. Dozens of guided deliverables.
Inside the Dementia Care Academy, you’ll learn:

What dementia actually is — and why understanding it changes everything
How to handle behaviors like aggression, sundowning, wandering, and resistance without guessing
Step-by-step guidance on how to actually become DPOA and manage care legally and financially
How to prepare for transitions, including home safety, alternative housing, and end-of-life care
What to do when you’re not getting help, and how to advocate clearly for your person in every setting

It's more than a course.
It’s like having your own dementia care expert on call — in your pocket.

✅ Monthly Deep-Dive Training

These aren’t surface-level tips — they’re grounded walk-throughs of the exact caregiving moments that derail families the fastest:

Refusals to shower
Medication mismanagement
Facility transitions that come too fast
Family conflict over holidays, finances, and decisions
Emotional triggers you didn’t even realize were running the show

Each training is structured around a real-world caregiver scenario, paired with a worksheet or planning tool so you’re not just watching — you’re applying.
And most importantly: you’re not doing it alone.

Real world Tools

Your Caregiver Compass Handbook
The MAP Medical Assistance Planner
The “My Story” communication tool

Behavior guides, care plan templates, independence quizzes, doctor visit prep sheets, emotional health check-ins, grief journals, and more

✅ Live Monthly Q&A with Laura

Bring your hardest question — the one you’d never ask in a public forum.
This is your space for judgment-free, strategy-rich, totally human support.

Whether it’s a behavior that’s escalated or a care decision you’re unsure about, you’ll walk away with:

✔ A clear next step
✔ Confidence in what you’re doing
✔ A plan that fits your unique situation

Live access. Replays available. Answers that meet you where you actually are.

"This isn’t a program.
It’s what I wish every family had

before the first meltdown,
before the first ER visit,

before the first time they whispered,
‘I don’t think I can do this anymore.’

You don’t need more information.
You need navigation.”

✅ Monthly Tool Drop

Every month, you’ll receive a carefully curated bundle of plug-and-play tools to reduce your cognitive load and support real advocacy in action. These are not fluff downloads.
