You’re Not Alone in Your Caregiving Journey
Let Me Explain…
Did you know that there are more than 53 million adults in the US providing care for a spouse, elderly parent, or relative?
- 11 million of these caregivers are providing care to a person living with some form of dementia.
- 95% of those living with dementia are cared for at home by family and friends.
- Majority of caregivers are largely unprepared for the type of daily care they need to provide – and finding a healthcare provider with expertise can be daunting.
- The combined workforce of 6.2 million doctors and nurses in the US, less than 1% are board certified in geriatrics, that’s where I can help.
If you are a caregiver for a person living with dementia or an adult child trying to help an aging parent, you are in the right place.
HERE’S HOW I CAN HELP YOU!
“I wanted to understand my mother, what it’s like for her. And I wanted strategies to meet our feeding and taking medicines goals in a way that will be pleasing and motiving to her.
Thank you for your priceless work”.

“As the sole caregiver for my husband, feeling tired and overwhelmed, I reached out to Dr . Melissa Batchelor for advice on what my husband and I could do differently to make life more manageable. Dr. Batchelor did a thorough review of my husband’s medical history, medications, and treatment therapies. Her calm and personable approach convinced him that simply going to physical therapy twice a week is not enough. She gave him a list of 5 exercises, and to my surprise, he now is motivated to do them daily. We also put her home-safety tips into effect that same day. Most important for me was her advice about taking care of myself. I’m working on it! We look forward to our follow up with Dr. Batchelor.
Contacting her is one of the best decisions I’ve made all year!”

“I had helped take care of my Mom 3 years ago and after she passed away, less than a year later, my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. Dr. Batchelor has answered so many of my questions and has helped me navigate this journey (she is such a good listener!!). I now understand why my Mom did some of the things she did and I now am understanding my husband much better as a result of listening to Dr. Batchelor. I am learning also to take care of myself.
I needed Dr. Batchelor’s help 3 years ago!”
