3 Innovations in Memory Care for Senior Living & Health Care
Below is a roundup of some of my favorite solutions for innovations in memory care
Here is a link to more about the affordable solutions from LifeBio that work in both memory care and in senior living/health care (we feel that knowing the whole person and capturing life stories effectively is so very important---we make it simple to gather at least a simple biography on every person using the web, an app, or our Life Story Guide or our MemoryBio Photo Album for starting conversations with those who have dementia), but I am also going to suggest some of my favorite programs that are also complementary....
One Place to Store All Your Family Memories
I was talking with a friend the other day about what LifeBio does, and she said, "Do you mean that I can start a memory book for my 9-year-old son now and keep adding to it until he turns 18 and give him the book for graduation?"

There were some funny experiences and some very scary times shared.

Memory book for my grandma
There is nothing more priceless than the gift of life stories. I know that my own grandmother's life story really changed my life. I thought, "I'm just like you, and you are just like me!" But I would never have had that experience if grandma's life story was not recorded.
