WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Having all the information about my Mom all in one place and more to the point - with me wherever I am - is a boon.

I would have bought this app for the medications and medical history section alone! You cant’ believe how many times I have recited the same list to medical advisors and therapists. Now I just show them on my phone. Thank you. Thank you.

This is a 5* app! Each weekend I use the Daily Schedule section to plan Dad’s week – and mine! – And then print it out to leave for the home-helpers. I use all the sections actually but I love that one in particular.

Whoever thought about including Conversations in this app, take a bow. All the rest is really helpful but Conversations has really got our family to focus on important issues and talk to gran and each other and get some resolution on important matters.

I love the comprehensiveness of the app. I discipline myself to spend 10 minutes a day making entries and checking on things to do. Would you believe I actually look forward to doing it? It feels like a mini-respite from caregiving and that I’m being supported by safe hands.

Congratulations on producing a practical app that does what it says. Two parts in particular stand out for me. The Guidance notes are very helpful. Clearly been written by someone who has walked the talk. Second, being able to share content with other members of the family has helped everyone to understand what’s involved and got them contributing in ways they have not been prepared to before :-)
