Care Partners House™ Membership
Supporting BOTH care partners in living well with dementia
Imagine dementia care like this...
- You feel confident and know how to handle challenging behaviors in your loved one with dementia.
- Your loved one with dementia is happy, engaged, and thriving.
- You get your connection with your loved one back.
- Dementia care is an important part of your life, but it is no longer ALL of your life.
- You have balance between caring and the rest of your life: your mental & physical health, work, kids, and friends.
- You are not alone. You have help from a dementia care professional and a community of other care partners when you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can everyone in my family use one membership subscription?
In order to be on the live calls and use the community, each person needs to have their own membership. There are plenty of resources inside the membership to share with other family members, but each membership gets you one account and one spot in the live calls and community bulletin board.
When are the live coaching calls?
Right now, Wednesdays at 2pm cst, and then one Thursday a month at 4pm cst. But times can change or be added based on the needs of the membership. Calls are recorded for possible educational and promotional use later, but are not posted as replays in the membership.
Is the membership for people in all stages of dementia? What about all types of dementia?
Yes! The Montessori approach works for all stages of dementia, and it actually fills a gap in dementia care of supporting early stage dementia and maintaining independence, that then makes the later stages even easier.
How do I get to the live calls?
The registration for each coaching call is in your calendar inside the membership. When you register, a Zoom link will be emailed to you. All you need is a Zoom account!
How is the course content structured?
There are a few base courses in the membership that you can go through at your own pace, such as the Dementia Care 101 and Understanding Behaviors Courses. Then there are other courses and resources that will grow over time each month. The Care for the Care Partners course will be tailored with lessons that support the needs of the membership as I get to know you all and have additional modules. The Activities Library will be added to every month with more and more done-for-you roles and activities recipes, and of course the Resources Library will continue to grow with more ebooks and other supportive resources for you.
Can I join as a professional caregiver? (Working in a community or home health)
Yes! The dementia care courses will enhance your professional training (it's actually the course Katie teaches in-home healthcare organizations and care communities,) you will have dementia activities already created for you to use with your clients, and you can get support from Katie and Jeffrey in the live coaching calls.
What is the price?
This is a recurring monthly membership of $57 billed monthly. You will be locked in at this rate for as long as you stay in the membership. You can cancel at any time before the next month's billing cycle. If you leave the membership and decide to come back later you will be billed at whatever the monthly fee is at the time of re-joining. If you chose the 6 month option, your membership will auto-renew every 6 months at $285 unless you cancel before your renewal date.
