Care Smarter, Not Harder

Expert Guidance for Dementia Caregivers

Caring for a loved one with dementia is tough, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Being cast into the role of caregiver for a loved one with dementia can be a confusing and lonely reality. Dealing with changes in the loved one’s behavior, the need to navigate the system and make big decisions on their behalf, and the lack of time or focus on one’s own self-care all make it easy to feel overwhelmed and lost.

The good news? You don’t have to go through it alone. Rainwater Consulting provides the support, planning, and resources you need to navigate the challenges ahead.

We Can Do This. Together.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of expertise in dementia, older adulthood issues, and palliative care. And I am the daughter of a person living with moderate-stage dementia.

Whether you are a person living with dementia or someone caring for a loved one with the condition, you deserve support on this journey. You deserve expert guidance and practical tools to help you cope with the present stressors and what’s coming next. You deserve to know that it is normal to feel depleted and to be offered professional guidance about how to feel balanced – even hopeful – again. We can do this.

What Shoshawna's Clients Say

  • “My daughter and I added Shoshawna to our dementia support team at a time when we were desperate for guidance, answers, and relief. We received these, and much more, from her. Dementia robs family caregivers of so much, including perspective. Today, our loved one living with dementia is thriving in a memory care facility, and my daughter and I are healing, too. We wouldn’t be here without Shoshawna’s deep knowledge, experience, and compassionate support.”

    — Dave, spouse of person living with dementia

  • “We feel so lucky to have found Shoshawna. She was so aligned with our goal of truly loving our dad through this process. She provided guidance and hope.”

    — Jessica, daughter of a person living with dementia

  • “Meeting with Shoshawna gave our family something special-- something that will help us grow in our relationships with one another and help us process, reason and cope with something so sad it takes your breath away. We feel stronger as a family after meeting with Shoshawna.”

    — Shannon, daughter of a person living with dementia
