Who We Are​

It’s like you’re having to live two people’s lives—your own life plus that of the person you’re caring for.

Our History

E3 Caregiving was established in January 2022 as a response to Leah Stanley being suddenly thrust into the role of a dementia caregiver with no idea how to do the job. Leah and her husband Chris, who both hold journalism degrees from the University of Memphis, wanted to train current and future caregivers after learning that, according to the CDC, there are more than 16 million Americans providing unpaid care for loved ones with dementia. E3 Caregiving was developed to share tips and information the Stanleys learned through personal experiences and research. The company has hosted a number of educational events for caregivers designed to Encourage, Equip, and Empower – the three E’s of E3 Caregiving.

Our Mission

We empower ordinary people to successfully become well-equipped caregivers for their loved ones with dementia, and we encourage the seasoned caregivers to thrive in their long-term role.

LET MY EXPERIENCE GIVE YOU HOPE

When my caregiving experience began, I knew NOTHING about the demands of the role or how to move forward. I wrote my book Goodnight, Sweet: A Caregiver’s Long Goodbye to offer future caregivers some of the wisdom I gathered through trial and error.

My grandparents were found on the side of the road in below-freezing temperatures two hours from their home with a flat tire and a partially-wrecked car! Doctors discovered Grandma had Alzheimer’s while Grandpa had an unspecified dementia, and from there the events just tumbled in one after the other.

Elder care is explored in detail, everything from medical diagnoses to long-term care, and I highlight the importance of having the right legal documents in place ahead of time. I also examine the family dynamics of caregiving—acknowledging that not all family members have honorable intentions.

My experience can shed some light on the rough and confusing road caregivers face, and I want to encourage you that if I could make it then you can too.
