Inside the Boomer Buddy Guide
Real pages from the organizer. Click any one to page through a ten-page preview. Every guide in the collection is built this same way: a short explanation, then fillable pages, checklists, and room to write.
Twenty-three forms in all, covering the patient snapshot, health history, appointments, specialists, logs, and a running notes section. Fillable on screen and printable for the people who would rather write by hand.
Get it for $9.99If any of this sounds familiar
You are on the phone with a nurse who needs your parent's medication list, and you are reading it off a photo on your phone.
Your sibling asks who has power of attorney, and you realize nobody actually knows.
Your wife asks if you know who has the bank accounts for your parents, and you cannot answer her.
You have started a notes app, a folder on the counter, and a group text, and the information is still in three places.
None of that means you are handling this badly. It means the information was never gathered in one place, because until recently nobody needed it to be. That is the one thing these guides do.
What you are actually getting
How the guides work
Start with the one that matches your biggest informational gap.
For most families that is the Boomer Buddy Guide. Each guide is a standalone PDF, so you do not need the whole set to begin.
Fill it in at your own pace.
Type directly into the PDF and save your progress, or print it and write by hand. Most people work through a guide across a few sittings, not one long afternoon.
Keep it where your family can find it.
Bring it to an appointment. Send it to a sibling. Hand it to whoever takes over on the day you cannot be there.
The guides organize your family's information and help you prepare for the conversations ahead. They are educational resources, not a substitute for advice from a doctor, attorney, or financial professional.
The new normal
The challenges of caregiving have begun.
What do you need to know right away?
The Buddy Guide covers the medical side that nearly every family needs first. If something more specific is in front of you right now, start there instead.
Caring for a parent while raising kids? Naming a medical decision-maker? Settling an estate? All eleven guides are below.
“The Caregiving Guides were created out of love to offer support and clarity from one caregiver to another. In your time of challenges, stress, and confusion over what to do, what to say, what questions to ask, and where to keep all of your person's most important information, the Caregiving Guides are the perfect companion when you might feel alone.”Mark Stiles, Founder

Common questions
Which guide should I buy first?
The Boomer Buddy Guide, for almost everyone. It holds the medical information a family reaches for most often: medications, allergies, surgeries, doctors, insurance, and appointment notes. The other ten guides handle specific decisions as they come up.
Is this legal, medical, or financial advice?
No. These guides help you organize information, prepare for conversations, and gather documents. They are educational only. They are not a substitute for professional advice from an attorney, doctor, or financial advisor.
How long will it take to fill out a guide?
Most people work through a guide across a few sittings rather than one long afternoon, depending on how much detail they include. You do not have to finish it all at once. Save your progress and come back whenever you are ready.
What if I am not a Boomer? Do these guides apply to me?
Yes. These guides are for anyone managing caregiving: Gen X adults caring for aging parents, Baby Boomers planning ahead, and anyone facing medical, financial, or end-of-life decisions with the people they love.
Can I print these guides?
Yes. Every guide is a fillable PDF, so you can type into it and save your changes, and every guide is printable. You can work on screen or print pages to share with family members.
What if I buy the wrong guide?
We want you to be happy with what you bought. If a guide is not the right fit within 30 days of purchase, email support@caregivingguides.com and we will work with you to find the one that is.
