You don’t have to figure this out alone. With the right guidance, community, and support, you can gain confidence, set boundaries, and create a plan to care for elderly parents that works for you... and the ones you love.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with the idea or reality of caring for elderly parents, you’re not alone.
63 million U.S. adults are providing unpaid care to a loved one, and by 2030, the number of aging adults needing care will outnumber the availability of family caregivers.
Women carry the weight of caregiving, while also raising children and managing careers.
61% of family caregivers are women, and 70% of primary sandwich generation caregivers are women, and they report higher emotional stress and difficulty balancing responsibilities compared to men.
Daughters feel unprepared and unsupported:
53%
work full-time, constantly torn between career growth and caregiving.
65%
haven’t joined support groups
or educational programs.
88%
say they desperately need help and don’t know where to find it.

Hi, I’m Kathleen Korpela!
Like 70% of sandwich generation family caregivers, I was thrust into a role I never saw coming. To say it rocked my world is an understatement. So, I built the support system and resources I wish I’d had back then.
Like almost 50% of family caregivers, I'd received no formal education, resources, or support. I'd felt alone in making life-altering decisions about someone I loved deeply, armed with only conflicting information and overwhelming uncertainty. Living Goldenwell was born to empower women stepping into eldercare to gain know-how, clarity, and real support.

Living Goldenwell is built around a simple but profound belief: Women navigating eldercare deserve more than information. They deserve transformation.
Our Signature Framework is the foundation of everything we do. It reflects what we know from research, from clinical and professional expertise, and from lived experience: that the most effective and meaningful support is when it addresses the whole woman - her need for knowledge, her need to be understood, her need for a clear path forward, her need for real connection, and her need to sustain her own wellbeing in the process.

What Our Community Has to Say:
Through expert guidance and a proven framework, women have reclaimed their time, reduced stress, and found real, sustainable tools to navigate the emotional and logistical complexities of eldercare.
This is essential for professional women balancing work and family demands. I gained crucial strategies for managing my own and others' emotions, which was especially helpful as a long-distance caregiver. By applying the concept of curiosity, I unlocked deeper, more open communication with my dad. A truly encouraging and effective program…highly recommended!
Ade, Founder & Owner, Novus Nurse Consulting
The program helped me go from complete overwhelm to empowered action. I had no roadmap for dealing with aging parents, especially with my dad’s increasing needs. Kathleen helped me establish boundaries and build a care plan that respects my parents and preserves my own well-being. I finally feel like I have a say in my own life again.
Denise, Entrepreneur
I’ve taken other workshops before, but nothing was as tailored or relatable as Caregiving From The Middle. Kathleen understands sandwich generation stress from the inside out. The resources, coaching, and community she provides helped me shift from reactive caregiving to intentional, supported decision-making.
Marina, HR Director
Thank you for providing such a safe, warm, and welcoming place to share such intimate family details. It is a rare gift. I am grateful.
Christine, RN/Holistic Brain Health Coach

Two stages. One place.
It’s the first-of-a-kind place where women in the “middle” feel seen, understood, and equipped to manage the complexities of caring for aging parents while sustaining their own wellbeing and career success.
Caring for Elderly Parents: Early Stage
You’re noticing changes in your aging parent’s health or memory and know you need to have “the conversation” soon, but you’re unsure when or how to approach it. You’re also feeling unprepared and anxious about the road ahead, wondering if you’ll be able to handle the emotional, financial, and logistical challenges of dealing with aging parents. If this resonates, we can help.
Caring for Elderly Parents: Mid-Stage
You’re navigating the profound shift from “adult child” to “parenting your parent,” struggling to adjust to a role reversal without a roadmap. You’re also overwhelmed by complex eldercare decisions, from understanding dementia to choosing the right care options or figuring out paying for long term care, so you second-guess every choice you make. We can help with all of this.
