How We Help

Caring for an aging parent—or managing their estate—often falls on one family member. If you’re the Power of Attorney or the adult child “in charge,” you may be balancing legal, financial, and emotional decisions without a clear guide.

At Essential Home Organization, we provide a variety of solutions to meet your needs and your budget. From eBooks, eWorkbooks, eCourse, physical bundles, workshops, and convenient online group coaching, you can find the right amount of information and support. We also recently started a new Facebook Group to allow you to form friendships with others that are on the same path and understand your stress, fears, and frustration.

We help you move from confusion to confident action—without burnout or second-guessing.

Who We Help

We support:

1) Adult children managing their parent’s estate or care.

2) Power of Attorney caregivers handling financial and legal responsibilities.

3) Families navigating assisted living, downsizing, or property transfers.

4) Eldercare professionals seeking a trusted partner to support their clients.

If you’re juggling roles, responsibilities, and paperwork—and wondering “Where do I even start?”—you’re in the right place.

    A timely and compassionate guide for anyone, like me, navigating the often-overwhelming responsibilities of caregiving—especially those of us in the so-called "sandwich generation." Hartman not only understands that struggle but offers clear, empowering strategies to help us caregivers reclaim a sense of balance, purpose, and even joy. She draws from real-life experience and blends emotional insight with actionable tools. For those of us in the sandwich generation, this book is more than a manual—it’s a lifeline.

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Sanity saver for the Juggling Act

    Marannatha Martin

    Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2025 Format: Kindle Verified Purchase

    Between work and caring for my family, 'drowning' felt like an understatement. This book, though, has been a lifeline. It doesn't just preach organization; it acknowledges the real burnout caregivers face. The 'Mommy Tantrums' chapter? Felt seen. What I appreciate is the practical approach. It breaks down overwhelming tasks into manageable steps, with worksheets for everything from kitchen organization to legal documents. It's not about perfection, but about finding a system that works for my life. The downsizing and moving tips? Invaluable. This book understands the 'sandwich generation' struggle. It's given me tools to reclaim my time and sanity, making the juggling act feel less like a tightrope walk and more like a manageable routine.

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, Some Real Help That Works

    Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2025 Format: Kindle Verified Purchase

    With four kids and parents who seem to get more tired every day, my life was a mess. I tried all those 'organize your life' tips, but they were long, complicated, and never fit my real life. I was so done with planning; I needed something that just worked. Then I found this book. It's not about some perfect system; it's about real, simple ways to get organized. It gets straight to the point, which is exactly what I needed. It’s like the author gets that life is crazy. I'm tired of theory; I need practical steps that make a difference fast. This book helped me create some order, and honestly, it's given me back a little bit of my sanity. Now, I can spend less time stressed and more time with my family, which is what actually matters.
