Are There Apps to Help Seniors with Dementia?

March 23, 2018 By Stephanie Miller

Senior Care in Beaverton OR: Seniors with Dementia

14-year-old Emma Yang had been coding on computers since she was just six years old.

When her grandmother developed Alzheimer’s, Emma decided to use her skills to make communication easier for her. Emma’s grandmother lives in Hong Kong, so they spoke via phone. But, when Emma’s grandmother would ask her the same questions over and over, communicating was tough. So, Emma created an app called Timeless. It’s an app that employs facial recognition to give the person a reminder of who a person is when they receive a photograph. Also, if they are about to dial someone they’ve just spoken to, the app reminds them of that.

 

Emma’s app is innovative, and maybe even a little cooler since it was designed by such a young person, but it’s not the only app available to help seniors with dementia. Here are a few more apps that are designed just to help those suffering from cognitive impairment.

 

Grey Matters

Grey Matters is an app that allows family members to make a storybook especially for someone with dementia. The story uses family photos, music, videos, and the familiar recorded voices of people the dementia patient knows.

 

Dementia Digital Diary

Just as the name suggests, Dementia Digital Diary is both a clock and a diary. It tells the time, as well as letting the user know which part of the day they are in—morning, afternoon, night. It also shows the next three items on the calendar, so the dementia patient knows what to expect next. The app can be updated via an Internet connection by caregivers.

 

Medisafe Meds & Pills Reminder

This app helps dementia patients by reminding them when it is time to take medications. It also tells them when a prescription needs to be reordered.

 

Relaxing Sounds

When someone with dementia is feeling anxious or stressed, listening to soothing sounds can help. The app has several sounds available, like sounds of the forest, the sea, a campfire, bird songs, and more.

These apps are also wonderful ways to make certain aspects of the lives of people with dementia better. Another way to help someone with dementia is to hire a senior care provider to assist them. A senior care provider can help them to safely make a healthy meal or make the meal for them. They can even help the senior to eat, if necessary. Senior care providers can also keep an eye on the dementia patient so that they do not wander away from home or engage in activities that may harm them. In addition, they can provide medication reminders and reminders of upcoming appointments.

    Testimonials

    Rebecca

    Thank you for sending Tina into my mother’s home. Tina was like a ray of sunshine entering a window that had been closed off for a very long time. Tina was extremely attentitive and caring while handling very demanding and challenging daily tasks. Her friendship and care for my mother during her final days was touching. Feel free to add me to your referral list.

    Joanne

    Thanks so much for helping us find the right care solution for my Mother. She loves living at the assisted living community and has made a couple of friends already. Your assistance and knowledge were greatly appreciated and it took a lot of stress off of our shoulders during a very difficult period for our family.

    Susan

    We wanted to thank you for sending a wonderful caregiver - Julie. She has been such a needed help to our father during his last year of life. Julie was always on time and always happy to do what was required to care for our beloved father when he needed it most. Thank you so much for all your support and help.

    Joan

    I wanted to thank you for all your great help and assistance this past 3 months during our mother’s surgery and recovery. She speaks so highly of the caregiver (Annette). Thank you for helping my Mom get back on her feet again. She looks great! All the best.

    Angela

    Thank you so much for your outstanding homecare services and support. The caregivers working with my Dad at home are always on time and very professional. Your attention to the daily details of our situation and quick response time to resolve issues as they have arisen has been outstanding. You have no idea how much stress you have relieved in our ayour service and continued support. I would recommend you to anyone.

    Stephanie

    Thank you for helping us find the right board and care facility for my Dad. He really likes the place and we can tell that he is starting to move out of his depression little by little. I can’t thank you enough for driving us around and helping us find the right place for him - I don’t know how we would have done it without you.
