Marie & Co. Care Guides
Coming soon
Join the waitlistWhen someone you love gets a serious diagnosis or ends up in the hospital, it can feel like everyone is talking and no one is explaining. Specialists don’t always talk to each other. Busy providers are human, and things get missed. Families are left trying to piece it all together while they’re scared and exhausted.
Marie & Co. Care Guides is a new service created to help families make sense of it all. We work alongside your loved one’s healthcare team, never against it, so you can understand what’s happening, know what to ask, and catch gaps before they become problems.
What we’ll offer
- Medical record review
- A clinician reads the records you provide and prepares a clear written summary of what they show, possible gaps in care, medication concerns to ask about, and questions for the care team.
- Personalized care toolkits
- A guide built for your situation, with question sheets for upcoming appointments, a one-page medical summary, medication and care team lists, safety checklists, and what to watch for.
- Review calls
- Time to walk through your toolkit together and get your questions answered.
- Free printable organizers
- Forms to keep medications, specialists, appointments, and medical history in one place.
Who it’s for
- Adult children caring for an aging parent, especially from a distance
- Spouses and partners who suddenly became the point person
- Families facing a new diagnosis such as dementia, cancer, heart failure, or serious mental illness
- Anyone juggling multiple specialists, a long medication list, or a recent hospital stay
- Caregivers who feel like something is being missed but don’t know what to ask
Why it helps you and your family
- You’ll understand what’s going on, in plain language, without medical jargon.
- You’ll walk into appointments prepared, with the right questions in hand.
- Gaps get spotted early, such as medication interactions, missed follow-ups, or specialists who aren’t on the same page.
- Everything is organized in one place, ready for the next appointment, ER visit, or hospital stay.
- You’ll feel less alone and less afraid, because you have someone who knows the system in your corner.
