The VISIT Kit beta launch - Fall 2020
Making visits positive and fun for caregivers and their loved ones with dementia.
Elements of the VISIT Kit
Cognitive Game
Based on the proven social/cognitive therapy techniques of Dr. Lynn Serper, cognitive activities are fun and engaging for both you, the caregiver, and your loved one.
Sensory Object
Sensory objects, like clay, can be used to play a game or create some art... or your loved one can simply hold it, feel it, and understand its texture. VISIT always walks you through how to best use these objects for your relationship.
Social Engagement
Connection cards offer creative conversation starters that tap into long-term memory and personal history. Every card also walks you through how to have a one-sided conversation if your loved one is unresponsive, while still providing value to the visit.
Creative Stimulation
Creative activities have been shown to be therapeutic and stimulating for people with dementia. Connect in creativity and express yourselves!
VISIT Workbook
The Workbook guides you through how to use the VISIT Kit according to your loved one's specific abilities, mood, and personal history. Not only that - VISIT walks you through strategies that can be used to relieve stress in every daily interaction with your loved one, not only in moments when you are using the Kit.
About the App
Behavior-Tracking
After each VISIT, caregivers answer questions on their loved one's behavior, mood, and reactions. Over time, patterns will arise and caregivers can adapt care strategies to create the most rewarding visits.
Family Communication
Families can stay in the loop on their loved one's care through this communication tool. Securely share care responsibilities, updates, photos.
Additional Resources
A music and sound library, family photo album, and a collection of industry resources for caregivers add to the VISIT Kit experience.
