A monthly activity kit and online platform, VISIT is a holistic solution that supports family caregivers, family members, and friends of loved ones living with Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, or other causes of cognitive decline and dementia. The VISIT Kit and online platform facilitate engagement and positive interactions - helping you make the time you have together more meaningful and rewarding.
Meaningful Visits
Elements of the VISIT Kit
Cognitive Stimulation
Based on the proven social/cognitive therapy techniques of Dr. Lynn Serper, cognitive activities have multiple levels and are fun & engaging for both you and your loved one.
Sensory Object
Sensory objects can be used to play a game or create some art... but they're also soothing to hold, feel, and understand texture. VISIT 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. Conversation, whether two-sided or one-sided, is valuable in every visit.
Creative Expression
Creative activities have been shown to be therapeutic and stimulating for people with dementia. Connect in creativity and express yourselves!
The VISIT Guidebook
The VISIT Guidebook leads you through how to use the activities according to your loved one's specific abilities, mood, and personal history. Not only that - we walk you through strategies to improve the quality of every daily interaction with your loved one.
VISIT online - coming in 2021
With additional activities, resources, a VISITor social network and more, caregivers will be able to connect, reflect, and craft long-term strategies for the most positive outcomes.
A Tool for All
VISIT provides the tools and guidance to engage with your loved one so you can impact their wellbeing and build a positive relationship. The VISIT Kit and online platform together provide resources and carefully designed activities that bring structure to visits, removing fear and hesitation in not knowing what to do or say around a person with dementia.
Not only building connection for you - these social visits, and the associated mental stimulation, are also vitally important for protecting the quality of life for your loved ones with dementia for as long as possible.
