She could run a boardroom. She couldn't run her mother's care.
With a degree in sociology and 30 years of executive experience in process optimization and change management, Nicole Hilgenkamp specializes in taking complex systems and driving sustainable adoption. After experiencing the elder care industry firsthand while caring for her own parents, Nicole pivoted her corporate expertise to help families navigate the physical, emotional, financial, and legal realities of caregiving for a parent.
As the designated daughter and a mother to three daughters herself, Nicole honors her mother's legacy by teaching adult children how to avoid the emotional, regrettable, and costly mistakes she made when she lacked the education, resources, and time. She acts as an Elder Care Strategist, helping families coordinate care and manage these complex transitions with the same precision and strategic clarity used in corporate turnarounds.
What Your Parents Keeper is. And what it never is.
Your Parents Keeper is a caregiver education company. We teach adult children how to plan, manage, and survive caring for aging parents, through the Caregiver Compass guide library, the Compass Community, and private coaching.
We are not a home care agency. We never send aides. If a page anywhere makes us look like one, something went wrong, and we'd like to know.
The most expensive thing in caregiving isn't money. It's regret. Everything here exists so you carry less of it.
