Navigating eldercare is hard. Don's been there — and he's here to help you find the right products, the right answers, and the right community. Over coffee.
Eldercare is one of the most overwhelming journeys a family can face — and most people are doing it without a roadmap. Don has spent years walking this path, learning what works, what helps, and what the professionals don't always tell you.
Hot Coffee With Don started as a simple idea: what if someone who'd been through it could sit down with you for a few minutes and just help? No agenda, no sales pitch — just honest conversation over a warm cup.
From trusted products to 10-minute calls to a thriving community of families supporting each other — this is that place.
Don offers short, focused conversations to help families cut through the confusion of eldercare — whether it's products, placement, safety, or simply knowing where to start.
Every product Don recommends has been researched, tested, or personally vetted. Shop directly from his curated Amazon store and affiliate partners.
