Does This Sound Familiar?

You're not failing. You're human.

Caregiving is one of the most demanding roles on the planet, yet mo st of us receive zero training for it. You wouldn't expect someone to perform surgery witho ut preparation -
so why do we expect people to navigate complex caregiving situations without ssupport?

  • You love the person you're caring for, but you're running on empty
  • You feel guilty every time you think about your own needs

About Nurse Pat

Hi, I'm Pat - And I Get It

I've been where you are. Overwhelmed, exhausted, and wondering iff I was doing enough for the person I loved while watching my own life disappear.

After years of feeling like I was drowning, I discovered something imiportant: you can't pour from an empty cup, but you also can't fill it while it's still pouring.

That's why I created the BEACON framework - not from theory, but f rom real life. From late-night worry sessions, difficult family conversations, and the hard--won wisdom that comes from learning to care without losing yourself.

I help caregivers like you find the balance between excellent caire and personal survival.

Why Caregivers Choose Me

When I was first diagnosed with short term dementia resulting from a pulmonary circulation disease, my wife and I were at a loss for how to move forward. Thankfully our good friend Patricia Boswell was able to provide us with her best practices for home care. By putting Patricia's advice to work, we were able to keep me safe at home until the dementia symptoms abated, without causing harm to me or burnout to my wife.
