CAREGIVER ADVOCATE AND CARE TECHNOLOGY ADVISOR

Caregiving asks a lot of us

Jeanette Yates helps caregivers and the organizations that support them make thoughtful decisions about care, well-being, and technology.

Caregiving rarely comes with one right answer. Jeanette helps people ask better questions, consider who will be affected, and make choices that fit their circumstances and values.

Good care starts with the people involved

WHAT MATTERS IN CARE

Care for the
Caregiver

Caregivers have needs, limits, relationships, and lives of their own. Good support takes those into account.

Care for the
Person

Safety matters, along with dignity, independence, preferences, and having a voice in decisions about care.

Technology
in Service of Care

Technology has a place when it solves a real problem, reduces burden, or makes care better for the people using it.

Support for caregivers, programs for organizations, and a caregiver perspective for care technology teams.

I’M
JEANETTE
YATES.

A woman sitting in a beige recliner, smiling and holding a blue ceramic mug, wearing a light pink blouse and white pants.

I’m a caregiver advocate, author, speaker, and care technology advisor.

After years of caring for my mom and navigating the overwhelm that comes with it, I know how complicated caregiving decisions can be.

That’s why I do what I do. I help caregivers and the organizations that support them ask thoughtful questions, consider what matters most, and make decisions that work for the people involved.

Technology is part of that conversation when it can genuinely support care, ease a burden, or solve a real problem.

Two conversations on guilt, boundaries, grief, and “good enough” caregiving.
