Addressing dementia and alzheimer’s care challenges
Addressing the real challenges in dementia and alzheimer’s care
People living with dementia and alzheimer’s face progressive memory loss, anxiety, reduced communication, and social isolation. At the same time, carers experience exhaustion, guilt, and the constant fear of losing meaningful connection with their loved one. Our new digital reminiscence therapy addresses the challenges in dementia and alzheimer care with 21 century solutions.
Our reminiscence film therapy for dementia care directly addresses these challenges with tangible, non drug solutions designed to work in real life today, not at some distant future point. Our suite of fourteen clips is called “A picture house of MY past memories” This is our phase one dementia care therapy offer for you.
What dementia care experts say is missing
Across dementia organisations, government bodies, and research institutions, the following consistent gaps in dementia and alzheimer’s care have been identified:
• Lack of meaningful non drug interventions
• Limited 24/7 support after diagnosis
• Few tools that genuinely improve mood and communication
• Insufficient support for carers
Our digital dementia memory care therapy clips have been developed specifically to meet these unmet needs.
How our reminiscence film therapy works
A validated, non drug cognitive stimulation therapy
Each validated reminiscence therapy clip is carefully structured in the following ways
1. A personal introduction

This approach helps take people back to a time they can remember, improving mood, communication, personalised dementia support and emotional wellbeing.

Where they are failing we as outsiders can deliver through innovation and access 24/7 to a new way of supporting dementia health care. We can do this NOW not at some undefined future date.

Despite significant research investment, people living with dementia still lack practical daily support. Our therapy offers an immediately usable, low cost, scalable solution that improves quality of life NOW.
Social prescribing and emotional wellbeing is a vital dementia care input

The clips act as stimuli to help people with dementia and alzheimer’s find the places where their past memories hide.
