Caregiving often begins without warning. A loved one starts forgetting things, missing meals, or struggling with basic routines—and suddenly, you’re responsible for their care. You're not a nurse or a case manager. You’re their daughter, son, spouse, or friend.
But now you’re also tracking medications, sitting through doctor appointments, handling paperwork, and figuring out how to support someone whose needs keep changing. This book was written for people in that position, the ones trying to hold it all together while learning as they go.
In The Unfiltered Caregiver, Dr. Tiffany Glover shares both her professional and personal lived experiences and perspectives. She has spent more than twenty years working in senior and adult care specifically in adult day services and long-term support services; helping families manage long-term care, dementia, and age-related health issues.
But when her father’s condition declined, she became a full-time caregiver herself. That shift (from daughter to caregiver) changed how she understood every part of the role. The Unfiltered Caregiver reflects what she’s learned on both sides: the systems, the logistics, and the emotional toll no one prepares you for.
The book is structured to follow the full caregiving journey, so that readers can jump to what they need without getting lost or overwhelmed. It starts with the early stages: recognizing signs, asking the right questions, and having difficult conversations.
It then moves into building care routines, coordinating medical needs, managing schedules, and staying flexible as things change. There are chapters that break down major conditions like dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and mental health disorders that are common in older adults—but often misunderstood or missed entirely.

Alongside the practical side, the book addresses the emotional reality caregivers face: burnout, isolation, anger, guilt, grief, and the fear of not doing enough. It gives readers tools to protect their own energy, set boundaries without guilt, and ask for help when it’s needed. It also explains how to manage legal documents, long-term housing options, financial planning, and when to involve outside support.
The Unfiltered Caregiver is a clear, unfiltered, grounded guide for people figuring out how to care for someone they love while trying to stay afloat themselves so that they can care for their loved ones without completely losing their own sanity in the process.
