Supporting family/ friend carers & the person living with dementia through CARER tool 

As a passion project created by volunteers and carers, the My Dementia Companion CARER is designed to guide people living with dementia, their family and friend carers what to do, where to go for help and how to manage challenges at home.
 
You can watch an introductory video below to help you understand how it works:
 

see transcript here.

I am a GP and carer and have just started using My Dementia Companion CARER. I just wanted to say... it is excellent and will be recommending it to my patients

Ros, daughter & carer

I have done other dementia training, which is more academic. This is much more practical and useful day to day, such as labelling cupboards, accepting respite and more

Andrew, husband, carer

It's very open, clear and super easy to navigate. It steps you through one bit of information at a time, so you are not overloaded with too many pamphlets at a time." 

Sandra, wife & carer

It helped me to find my way around this maze. It's such a relief I can find all I need here. Saves me from going through all the loose booklets and links.”

Anonymous, wife & carer

How does it help?

​

As the world's first smart dementia guide, it can help you in many ways:

​

All in place

We guide you through a wealth of subsidies, support resources and actionable care strategies from experts and also practical tips from other carers.

Your journey

We simplify and tailored "what you need to do" and "where to go next" for you and your loved one's unique journey. So it's relevant and evolves with you over time, from the first signs to late stages of dementia.

At your own pace

The CARER tool remembers your progress, so you can learn at your pace and pick up where you left off at any time. So you won't be lost or overwhelmed.
