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

As a passion project created by volunteers, the My Dementia Companion CARER is an online tool designed to guide people living with dementia, their family and friend carers through one of life's most challenging journeys.

If you are living with dementia or supporting someone living with dementia, and having trouble figuring out what to do and how to find help, please let the CARER tool help you.
 
You can watch an introductory video below to help you understand how it works:

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.

 

As a professional, referring the CARER to suitable clients and carers can also help you meet compliance needs.​​
