All Digital Guides from The Boomer Guide: practical PDFs for caregiving, retirement, medical, money, and family planning decisions.

When families are helping aging parents, preparing for retirement, organizing documents, or facing care decisions, the hardest part is often knowing what to gather, what to ask, and what to do next.

These downloadable guides are built to help you get organized before stress turns into crisis. They are practical, printable, easy to use, and created for adult children, caregivers, boomers, retirees, spouses, and family organizers.

Choose by what your family is facing.

You do not need every guide at once. Start with the situation causing the most pressure right now.

  • Caregiving and aging-parent organization
  • Emergency family planning
  • Medical decision and appointment support
  • Retirement, Social Security, Medicare, and taxes
  • Long-term care and elder care decisions
  • Executor, wills, trusts, and end-of-life planning
Best place to start

Start with the guide that matches the decision in front of you.

If you are managing appointments, medications, and family updates, start with The Boomer Buddy Guide. If you are reviewing Social Security, Medicare, income, taxes, or long-term care costs, start with The Boomer Money Guide.

Want the simplest path?

Choose a bundle if you are trying to organize several connected issues at once. Most families dealing with aging-parent planning need more than one category: caregiving, medical, money, documents, and family decisions often overlap.
