Our mission is to impact the lives of caregiving families throughout the Birmingham, AL area. Our job is to ensure that you are caring for your body, soul and spirit so you can best care for others.

There are more than 65 million of us and growing. We have limited help, support and resources, and most of us are running on fumes! As The Caregiving Doctor, all I ask from you is to do your best to care without ignoring your own needs.

We will equip you with the necessary guidance, coaching and tools to enhance your caregiving abilities with your loved ones. The Caregiving Doctor, Clarissa Fells Smith, has spent over 40 years as a caregiving consultant working with caregiving families and their loved ones. Be prepared to go on this journey.

We will be providing education, consultation and the necessary tools to care for yourself and those you love. Education in family caregiving is an ongoing process. Spreading information about caregiving problems and solutions will help to improve the daily lives of caregiving families. By educating the public about caregiving challenges, we strive to increase awareness of why we need more support, resources and training.

There will be plenty of adversities to overcome and hills to climb. That's why it's crucial that we encourage and uplift one another as fellow caregivers. Finding empowerment is a key step to being a successful caregiver. I am personally empowering you to keep your family members at home if at all possible.
