Finding Our Way Through the Chaos of Caregiving — With Malka’s Help
By Marv Alpert and Bruce Howell

We recently published a book called Alzheimer’s Caregiving with Love, Laughter, and a Plan, but before we had a “plan,” we had a lot of confusion.

Like so many others, we were thrown headfirst into caregiving without a roadmap. There were so many resources out there—but no clear starting point. The decisions were overwhelming. Medical. Financial. Legal. Emotional. It felt like we were drowning in information and still somehow didn’t know what to do next.

That all changed when we met Malka Young.

Malka didn’t just offer advice—she brought us peace of mind. She sat down with each of us, along with our wives and daughters, and truly listened. Then she helped us sort through the confusion and build a practical, personalized care plan—one that included everything from daily routines to emergency planning (something we didn’t even realize we needed until she pointed it out).

Malka gave us direction, clarity, and comfort. Her support was one of the turning points that made our caregiving journey feel manageable—and, at times, even joyful.

Our book grew out of those experiences. It’s a guide we wish had existed when we were just starting out. It’s honest, practical, and yes, filled with love and laughter. We’re not doctors or lawyers—just two local husbands who lived it and want to help others feel less alone.

We also created a website for caregivers to get instant, confidential answers to their questions: www.caregiversinfo.com. It’s free, easy to use, and based on the book and the best current research. If you try it we’d love feedback on your experience. (write to info@caregiversinfo.com)

If you’re interested, the book is available on Amazon here: https://a.co/d/9Asrp7M

Thank you, Malka, for everything you’ve done for us—and for all the families you continue to guide with such wisdom and compassion.

With gratitude,

Marv Alpert & Bruce Howell
