Helping Mum or Dad stay safe at home
“Are we doing enough to keep Mum or Dad safe?”
When a parent is living at home with dementia, small memory or behavioural changes can quickly turn into big worries.
Many families find themselves asking the same question:
Over the past decade, I’ve helped more than 1,000 families navigate this exact moment.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.

If your parent is living at home with dementia...
Your parent may be:
forgetting things more often
struggling with daily tasks
becoming confused or disoriented
trying to stay independent
And it’s normal to feel stuck between:
wanting to protect them (making sure they're safe)
respecting their independence (they want to stay at home)
That tension is exactly where many families find themselves.

“When we first noticed changes in Dad, we didn’t know where to start. Melissa’s videos and checklists helped us make sense of what was happening and talk as a family without it turning into an argument. We finally felt like we had a plan and hope.”

"The weekly Q&As have been a lifeline. Hearing Melissa answer questions, and realising other families are facing the same things, makes me feel less alone and more capable of handling what’s ahead. Thank you thank you!"

“When Mom’s dementia got harder.. the wandering, the aggression, our family was falling apart. Everyone had a different idea of what to do. Melissa helped us see the bigger picture and gave us tools we could all agree on. We stopped spinning in panic and started working together with empathy instead of fear.”
Sam T, New York

Common questions
Is this for me/my family?
If you're supporting a parent or loved one with dementia and want to feel less overwhelmed and more prepared — yes, this is for you.
Don't we need to see you in person?
No — and here's why this works better. Professional dementia support often has 6+ month waitlists. My Dementia Playbook gives you expert strategies 24/7, plus live weekly Q&A where I answer your family's specific questions — all for less than the cost of one appointment.
Is this just for Australians?
No, not at all — dementia is a universal experience.
Families worldwide share the same fears and challenges. Just note I use 'Mum' instead of 'Mom' and 'Ageing' instead of 'Aging'.
What if this isn't right for me?
If you're not satisfied within 7 days, contact me for a full refund.
No questions asked.
What access will I have to Melissa?
Pre-recorded workshops, live webinars, and weekly Q&A sessions. Plus a private member community to connect with me, my team, and other families (coming soon).
