💬 What You’re Getting:

If evenings are the hardest part of your day, you’re not alone. Sundowning—those late-day periods of confusion, restlessness, or agitation in your person with dementia—can leave even the most patient caregivers feeling defeated.

That’s exactly why I created the Surviving Sundowning guide.

Inside this beautifully designed, 6-page PDF, you’ll find:

  • 💡 Clear explanations of what sundowning is and why it happens
  • 🛠️ Proven strategies to prevent and manage challenging evenings
  • 🗣️ Gentle phrases and redirection ideas that actually work
  • ❤️ Encouragement to remind you that you’re doing better than you think
  • 📝 A customizable nightly routine chart to bring more peace and structure

Whether you’re brand new to dementia caregiving or knee-deep in the daily rollercoaster, this guide gives you tools that are practical, compassionate, and rooted in real experience—not fluff.

Because you deserve more than survival. You deserve support that helps you breathe again. 💜

💜 Real-World Tools from a Trusted Dementia Expert



The Sundowning Survival Guide was created by Joanna LaFleur, a dementia care expert with over two decades of hands-on experience helping families through the toughest parts of the caregiving journey. She’s been a caregiver, a trainer, a consultant—and most importantly, someone who gets it.

This beautifully designed guide is more than just advice. It’s grounded in real techniques Joanna has used and taught across memory care communities, homes, and hospitals. And it’s delivered with warmth, humor, and compassion—because sundowning is hard enough without someone talking down to you.

Alongside this guide, you’ll see a preview image that reflects the calm, creative, and caregiver-centered approach inside. This isn’t fluff. It’s actionable, doable, and made for real-life evenings.

Because when sundowning shows up, you deserve support that’s actually helpful. 💜
