For family caregivers & adults planning ahead
Whether you’re caring for someone you love or aging on your own terms, you’ll find the guidance, tools, and people to help you do it with dignity led by gerontologist “Sam” Cradduck.
“Sam” has spent her career walking into the rooms most people walk past nursing homes, hospital hallways, family living rooms, and the quiet spaces where aging adults and the people who love them are trying to figure out what comes next.
She is the founder of More Than Heart™ and Human Always™, a gerontologist, licensed administrator, published author, and national speaker whose work reaches millions of people every month. Through her books, training programs, webinars, and professional certifications, Sam has built something this country has needed for a long time a dignity-first standard for aging and care.
She created the More Than Heart™ Training and Certification Programs and is the author of several books including the A Bend in the Road series books, workbooks, and guides written for families, caregivers, and professionals navigating the emotional, physical, and deeply human realities of aging and dementia.
Her teaching style is honest, compassionate, and utterly relatable because she has lived what she teaches. She doesn’t talk about aging from the outside. She has walked it, worked it, grieved it, and celebrated it for decades.
And her message has never changed.
Caring takes heart. Dignity takes understanding. Because dignity doesn’t expire.
