Whether you’re beginning to create a home care plan or are looking to upgrade your current system, you’ll need to adopt the following;
Entertainment and person centred care strategy
Secure personal data hosting and interoperability between systems
Remote monitoring capability and management
‘We’re so busy, we need to find a way to remotely help our parents manage their care needs and be regularly reassured they’re ok … we want to use tech for this but we don’t know where to start.. it’s overwhelming, there’s so many and they seem so complicated’.
What are the issues? – You want to maintain care at home so daily management needs, isolation, care circle connectivity, entertainment and therapy, to name just a few, need to be attended to if maintaining independence and quality of care are to be achieved.
And that’s where ReMe comes in – by offering a suite of functionality that covers many of these needs in one system and which can engage with the other care tools that you may be considering. Personal data, as held by ReMe, will always be at the heart of any care strategy.
ReMe really knows the person – Uniquely, ReMe gets to know the person through activities and builds a knowledge base of Life Story, of likes and dislikes and preferences, and matches these to online content and to local information. ReMe continues to create a repository of knowledge that can be used in the care process… wherever that may take place.
And gets you connected – Securely too. With your family’s personal data held in ReMeVault, you’ll be able to connect to other care hardware, software, services, organisations and providers and not have to repeatedly provide the same information. You simply opt in to your data in ReMe powering their needs. You’ll have simplicity, security and care control at your fingertips – and reassurance that your data is only being used to serve your care needs.
And ReMe’s also a Business Tool – ReMe provides a set of care business tools for those businesses that the family and the person cared for will encounter along the care journey. ReMe will save them time and money.
ReMe is not Care Planning software, which focuses on recording data (although ReMe does plenty of that). Its Activity Based Software. It’s about discovering the person through activities and engagement, and using this knowledge to enhance the care process.
With its unique ability to generate content that matches the person, RemindMeCare significantly improves care. RemindMeCare makes it possible to ‘know the person’ to a degree not previously achievable.
Arthur lives at home and has early stage dementia. His family found ReMe and use it daily to support their care needs.
They use ReMe to build Arthur’s profile and life story, capture and preserve his memories, define his preferences and store this ever-expanding knowledge within ReMeVault, to ensure security and portability.
They found a lawyer, domiciliary carers and even organised a dementia friendly cruise for him using ReMe’s support website. And they chose assistive tech that integrates with ReMe to ensure convenience of remote management.
Arthur loves receiving the ‘live’ photos his care circle send him, and they also create music playlists and movie recommendations for him. Arthur enjoys ReMe’s quizzes and cognitive activities and uses the voice activation option often. He feels connected.
He self-manages his daily care, but the family also use ReMe’s voice activated calendars to remotely auto-prompt him regarding medication and hydration (beta). ReMe helps Arthur start his day properly and reminds him of the important things in his life such as his family, memories and music, and generally reassures him and keeps him occupied.
His domiciliary carers can easily engage with him on topics that currently interest him as presented in ReMe. And when he becomes agitated they quickly access personal and familiar content that calms him.
When a carer moves in to look after Arthur, the family remotely monitor his wellbeing. ReMe presents local activities and they can monitor his take up.
Eventually he moves into an assisted living housing unit. The transfer is easy as ReMe goes with him, informing the facility of his life story and needs, so that they can deliver bespoke person-centred care. And since the facility also uses ReMe, his family can remotely engage with Arthur.
They log in to learn about Arthur’s condition, check which activities he’s enjoying and read the carer’s comments or listen to his recorded voice during conversations, reminiscence and therapy. Each new carer can quickly know how to engage with Arthur.
When Arthur has a fall and is taken to A&E he becomes agitated. But luckily the hospital uses ReMe and so they know how to calm him and don’t resort to medication. In the ward they use ReMe to deliver familiar activities and this speeds up recovery and he’s soon back at home.
When Arthur moves to a nursing home, ReMe is full of knowledge that helps them better care for him, and also provides them with tools to improve their care and business performance.
ReMe offers many comforting benefits; the family can make a film or print a book of Arthur’s life and if chosen, ReMe can hold his life story content in perpetuity for the family to access whenever they wish.

It’s good to see RemindMeCare widely available to all older people enabling them to build up memories in the system over time.
Patients simply enjoy talking about their past...the unique profile created by ReMe makes the system a lot stronger than the other computer based systems that I have had experience with.
RemindMeCare has bought back so many fond memories of my childhood, it has even been inspiring at times.
We can use RemindMeCare with other clients also that do not have dementia – it’s fun for anyone!
RemindMeCare connects me with my family more easily, when I’m with them or when they are away.
Families very often say to us: How should I talk to someone with dementia? RemindMeCare can undoubtedly be used to break the ice.
RemindMeCare is simple to use…
Not a lot. Broadband, a tablet or a laptop. That’s it.
And we can provide a box to connect ReMe to your TV, but it’s not necessary.
