Making medical decisions for someone you love living with dementia isn’t just hard—it’s overwhelming.
Protect their quality of life and feel confident in your choices NOW!
Making medical decisions for someone you love living with dementia isn’t just hard—it’s overwhelming.
You want to protect their quality of life and feel confident in your choices, but too often, you’re left juggling unanswered questions, conflicting emotions, and frustration inside a healthcare system that offers little to no guidance.
You may be tempted to “just figure it out later,” but waiting often leads to rushed, emotional decisions you may come to regret. Instead, with the right preparation, you can make informed choices you feel good about—now and into the future.

You want to protect their quality of life and feel confident in your choices, but too often, you’re left juggling unanswered questions, conflicting emotions, and frustration inside a healthcare system that offers little to no guidance.
You may be tempted to “just figure it out later,” but waiting often leads to rushed, emotional decisions you may come to regret. Instead, with the right preparation, you can make informed choices you feel good about—now and into the future.
Doctors don’t have the time to walk you through what’s most likely to happen or what to prepare for.
When it comes to making medical decisions for someone you love…
vague advice and fragmented information just don’t cut it.
Without a plan
YOU are left:
Overwhelmed by too much information that may or may not apply to your situation.
Unsure what questions to ask or how to advocate for the care your loved one deserves.
Rushed to make decisions in moments of crisis, second-guessing yourself, and worrying whether you’ve done the right thing.
This cycle of uncertainty takes a toll on your confidence, peace of mind,
and even your relationship with your loved one.
Here’s the truth…
What if you had a step-by-step process to follow?
One that gave you clarity, reduced your stress, and prepared you to make informed decisions that align with your loved one’s needs and values?
How You’ll Feel After This Program
What You’ll Gain After this Program
This isn’t one-size-fits-all advice—it’s a physician-created process that empowers you to make thoughtful, informed decisions while freeing up mental space to focus on what matters most: being present with your loved one and taking care of yourself.
Because when you’re informed and prepared, decision-making becomes simpler, less stressful, and aligned with what your person would want.
Hi there!
I’m Brittany Lamb, MD.
Hi, I’m Dr. Brittany Lamb. As an ER physician, I’ve spent years helping families navigate tough medical decisions for their loved ones living with dementia. I see what you’re up against every day—the frustration, the second-guessing, and the constant worry about whether you’re doing enough.
Here’s what I want you to know: you are capable of making these decisions and feeling good about them. What’s missing is the guidance you should be getting but aren’t—because the healthcare system just doesn’t give families the time or support they deserve.
That’s why I created this program: to give you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to advocate for your loved one, make thoughtful decisions, and feel at peace with the choices you’re making, now and in the future.
An 8-part program delivered over 8 weeks, but it’s fully self-paced.
You’ll never lose access, so you can revisit the materials whenever you need them.
Inside this 8-week program, you will…
What it means to be a medical decision-maker.
Understand your role, what you can control, and how to prepare effectively.
How to identify your loved one’s goal of care.
Set a foundation for every decision you’ll make now and in the future.
The most common medical issues and emergencies.
Every lesson is geared toward dementia, helping you understand how it impacts the identification, treatment, and management of medical challenges.
A step-by-step framework for decision making.
Follow a clear, repeatable process for making informed, thoughtful choices.
Essential tools and strategies to advocate effectively.
Gain clarity on advance directives, DNR and POLST forms, and learn how to communicate and collaborate with care teams to ensure your loved one’s needs and goals are prioritized.
Plus…
You’ll receive Personalized Guidance:
because…
Everyone’s situation is different.
That’s why I ask you to share not just your loved one’s medical history, but also your story as their decision-maker.
By understanding your unique challenges—whether it’s juggling family dynamics, work, or other responsibilities—I can help you focus your time and energy on what’s most pressing right now.
I’ll review the personalized document you create and record tailored recommendations for you, including:
What to prioritize learning about now.
Key conversations to have with your loved one and family.
Lessons in the course that are most relevant to your situation.
Questions to ask your loved one’s care team.
This analysis helps you focus on time-sensitive decisions, navigate the healthcare system more effectively, and feel confident knowing you’re prepared for both now and the future.
And I’ll continue to support you—many participants have emailed me months or even years after joining the program for guidance as their situation evolves.

"I am more confident about making medical decisions on my husband's behalf; decisions that I believe he would have made for himself."
"I have a treatment plan that can be modified as my husband's illness progresses and needs change. I feel prepared with customized tools to advocate for my husband with his values and preferences in mind."
"The course help to solidify what I thought I knew.
It gave me talking points with my spouse of what I really want done both in emergencies and daily life."
"It is great to have this as a permanent resource guide, to be able to look at when things occur, because you can’t remember everything, especially during times of stress & decision making."
"I feel that I have been presented with (pretty much) all medical issues that my loved one could possibly face. I am a more prepared medical decision maker because I have walked-thru all the scenarios and possible decisions that I might have to make."
"The Medical Plan - it is now a road map for our family. I am more prepared to make better decisions.
When speaking with medical professionals, ‘Goals of Care’ are such powerful words."
"I am more confident in what questions to ask medical providers, particularly the risks and benefits of specific interventions and non-interventions."
"Dr. Lamb really cares for care givers. She provides thoughtful answers to questions and is compassionate. She ends by suggesting you do something for yourself."

Absolutely. I encourage participants to reach out if they have questions. Many caregivers email me even months or years after joining for additional guidance as their situation evolves.
If you know your person values quality of life, this is the fastest way to learn what you need to know. The information covered in this program would take dozens of doctor visits to gather—and it’s knowledge that attorneys simply can’t provide.
This is more than a caregiving resource; it’s an investment in becoming a stronger advocate for your loved one, planning for your own future healthcare needs, and saving yourself time and stress along the way.
Each week, you’ll spend about 1-2 hours on the program. Because it’s self-paced, you can progress as your schedule allows—and the time you invest now will save you stress and uncertainty later.

Navigating family dynamics can be one of the most challenging parts of caregiving. This is something I can guide you through personally during your included analysis.
Many caregivers face this challenge. The program includes strategies for approaching these conversations with compassion and understanding.

Not at all. The lessons are straightforward, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Advocating for a Person Living with Dementia,
Speaking as their voice, considering what’s best, and then needing to make their medical decisions can easily come with second guessing, regret, indecision, and stress.
As their decision maker you want…
Your person to have the best care possible…
To have confidence and peace of mind knowing you are making the right decisions…
To feel seen, heard, and understood by your person’s physicians…
But here’s the thing…
Our healthcare system is not set up to give professionals the time it takes to teach you what you need to know.
Fortunately, the weight you are carrying around about the uncertainty or concern you feel towards making your person’s medical decisions is not something you have to live with.
In order to prevent unnecessary stress, avoid second guessing, and keep your peace of mind, it is imperative that you prepare for your person’s future by creating a plan.
Let me be direct for a moment,
Planning for your person’s future medical issues and the decisions you will have to make for them is not the only solution to all dementia related problems.
But it IS a powerful solution to you no longer living in uncertainty and worry about your person’s future.
Planning allows you to offload this weight from yourself and anyone else who will be helping you make decisions for your person.
Why?
It’s simple…
In this Module, we’re going to get super clear on what it means to make medical decisions for someone else.
Module 1 Highlights:
This Module is all about considering other steps you’ll need to tackle before, or alongside, creating your medical decision plan.
Including:
In this Module we’re going to develop a cornerstone in your plan by identifying your person’s overall goal in their care so you can choose treatment without feeling overwhelmed.
Module 3 will teach you:
Now that you have identified your person’s goals of care and gathered their medical history, it is time to start learning how you can plan to make decisions on their behalf now and into the future.
In Module 4 you’ll learn:
In Module 5 we are going to dive into the medical issues your person is likely to face because they have been diagnosed with a disease causing dementia.
We will cover common injuries, infections (UTI, pneumonia etc.), and other medical issues like difficulty swallowing and delirium.
They are broken up by condition. so that If and when these issues happen to your person in the future, you can log back into the course and review this info so you feel informed and prepared for what’s at hand.
For each condition you will learn:
This Module is beneficial for both your person living with dementia and YOU.
In Module 6, you’ll learn to improve your communication skills and make better use of conversations with your person’s care team so you can make decisions with more peace of mind and confidence.
AND we’ll take a deep dive into common medical emergencies including:
As your person’s advocate you will need to understand terms like sepsis, intubation, and code status.
Inside Module 7 I will teach you, in plain language, about the major decisions people have to make quickly when their person becomes critically ill.
Module 7 Highlights:
You will be the number one asset to your person when using the Medical Decision Plan you have created, but there are a few other tools, services, and resources you’ll need to be aware of.
Including:
” I am more confident…”
I’m more confident that I can and should take a more active role in guiding and selecting the medical care for my person. The goals of care section (Module 3) helped me a lot in that regard.
T., Weyrauch
” …easy to receive and doesn’t feel overwhelming!”
Dr. Lamb is no doubt knowledgeable on this topic and also extremely kind. Her advice and directives are easy to receive and don’t feel overwhelming!
Cassi Silveus
” Do it! Just do it!…”
Do it! Just do it! If you put your plan off until your LOWD is taken to the ER or hospitalized it will be way more stressful having to make medical decisions that may or may not be in the best interest, or according to the wishes of your LOWD, having a plan in place will help you make those decisions.
Pamela
” I do feel more knowledgeable…”
I do feel more knowledgeable about medical conditions and treatments. Taking the course drove home the point that I most likely will have to make some decisions in the future. I’m sure I won’t remember most the details of all of the medical problems and treatments but having an overview and knowing that the videos will continue to be available is very helpful to me.
Kristy L.
” A place to go look for information…”
I feel I have a place to go look for information and where to find the questions I should be aware of or asking when needed. It will make me a better decision maker once I make the time to work through all of it.

You’re not afraid to do something different. Learning from an ER physician online means you are tapping into an expert’s knowledge to uncover the language, processes, and tools needed to advocate for your person directly from someone who makes these types of decisions with families on a daily basis.
You recognize there is no “perfect time,” and waiting is not an answer. You know things can change quickly for someone living with dementia. You are fully aware there is a huge difference between making decisions you’ve had time to consider vs choosing in “crisis mode”.
Only YOU can decide to commit to learning and planning on behalf of your person. For what it’s worth, everything you learn in the program you can use in your own life.

Yes, absolutely. I have never read a Living Will or other healthcare directive which told me how to treat a patient in the ER. Advance directives are not a plan and simply are not enough. People rely on them too much. This is why what I am teaching you is needed. The Medical Decision Plan you create inside this program is in addition to your person’s advance directives. What you do inside this course is for you. You do not turn it into your person’s medical care team or their attorney. You use what you learn on their behalf when making decisions for them alone or with your family.
If you are your person’s legally declared medical decision maker (on a legal document such as a medical power of attorney form) it is up to you to make their healthcare choices. You can use what you learn here to support your decision making and explain to your family the WHY behind the decisions you are making. The same applies if your person did not declare someone as their decision maker and you have a legal right to make their decisions as their spouse/partner or a child. If you are part of a group of people deciding what to do on behalf of someone, you may not be able to make the final call, but this program will teach you to speak to the rationale behind what you are advocating for and will help you get your point across to your family and to the medical team.
This is common and normal. Do not expect the person living with dementia to discuss their future medical care. They may not be able to handle the complexity or the emotions of a conversation like this. I advise going at it in bite sized chunks and asking them one question at a time. You can make all of the decisions inside this program on their behalf speaking for them. You do not need to be able to discuss the decisions with them ahead of time in order to choose on their behalf.
Making medical decisions is hard, I know. I help people make tough choices every day. If it stresses you out now, it will be worse when you have to do it in real time, especially in the ER or the hospital. Take the time now to figure things out and you won’t regret it. Planning for the future does not just give you peace of mind. It also empowers you. It forces you to learn, which translates into the ability to make informed choices. As a result you feel more in control. As a bonus, the knowledge you gain can be used repeatedly for the rest of your life. Use it to help yourself in planning, or to advocate for other family, friends, or people in your community.
Yes! This is my passion. I love boiling things down into simple language that people can understand. I have to do this on a daily basis in the ER when people are under stress. One of my favorite things about what I do is the feeling I get when I realize the person is clear on what is going on and what our plan is. I put things into plain language while still teaching you words you will want to know so you can better communicate with medical professionals.
Nope, I am giving you what you need to know to be able to make the most common medical decisions you will be faced with plus a process to follow when asked to make a decision about any other medical situation. If you follow the process laid out in the course I am confident you will feel well prepared to make your person’s medical decisions using the plan you create and what you learn.
Yes! I have broken the course up into the sections I deliver to you for this reason. This is also why I recommend taking it week by week learning and implementing as you go. You can absolutely do this. I am sure you have had to make many hard decisions in your life and some under stress. Think back to those, they are not as easy and leave room for more second guessing. Not learning about what is likely to happen to your person and being left to decide on medical treatment options in crisis mode is going to be harder than taking action while going through this course.
When you enroll in the program you will be sent an email from Thinkific to sign up with a user name and password and then can immediately get started on Module 1.
The cost of the program includes lifetime access. I know you are busy and may be interrupted. I want you to be able to log back in at any time and re-watch a video or look at the resources that go along with it as you need to.
Inside the course you can reply to the emails I send to you each week if you have questions or feedback about what you are learning. I will answer as best I can there via email. Who knows, maybe it will inspire me to add another video training into the program. In full transparency, if you ask me a question which requires a lot of back and forth communication, or I feel an actual conversation is needed because it is too specific to your unique situation, I may tell you I can not answer without us having a formal phone consultation which is another service I offer.
Watching the lessons each week will be about an hour. Implementing some of the action items may take up more of your time, but will be well worth the effort. You’ll have lifetime access to the program so there is no rush to finish it within the first 8 weeks.
That is entirely up to you. The plan is for you, the decision maker. You can discuss it with family or your person if they are able and willing. Your person’s doctors should know their overall goal of care. You will likely have to tell them. They will not always ask. When decisions need to be made you can bring along your plan and use it to help you have a conversation with your person’s care team. The plan does not go inside your person’s medical record. It is not a legal document you have to file anywhere. It is for you to use to keep yourself organized and to make sure the treatments you are choosing line up with what your person would choose for themselves. It will help you advocate and know whether or not a treatment you are being offered is in line with your person’s goals.
