ReMe for Care Homes
Every care facility is different. Some want to reach Outstanding whilst others need to exit special measures. Occupancy is critical particularly for new builds whilst competition, customer relations and staff retention are an issue for everyone. RemindMecare (aka ReMe) is here to assist.
Features & Benefits
Reminiscence Therapy
Bespoke reminiscence therapy improves carer engagement and can, through the discovery of key nuggets that induce calm and contentment, assist develop acute care strategies and result in reduced need for medication. Reminiscence becomes a more engaging and rewarding process for the carer as well as for the person.
ReMe is usable for personal content 1:1 reminiscence sessions, for group sessions that generate content that match the profiles of those present, and for generic reminiscence sessions based around chosen topics, such as holidays, music, sport.
Cognitive Therapy
The RAPP app provides cognitive games that reveal cognitive ability, seek to enhance and reinforce cognitive recall and which are fun and engaging for both the person cared for and the carer. Activity delivery is evidenced in background , so providing reassurance for families and quantitative validation for regulators.
Electronic Life Records
The data captured from digital activities is used to bespoke further activities, discover engaging content, inform the care process and enable background digital reporting.
Our ELR data set (likes, dislikes, preferences, moods, wellbeing, Life Story, memories, family engagement etc.) is owned by the person or family and is made accessible on an opt-in basis to the care provider, thereby providing GDPR compliancy for sensitive personal data to the care facility – vital in todays era of concerns regarding data ownership and liability. ELR is secure, ICO and G Cloud compliant and is today being used by hospitals, GP’s and care businesses.
Family Engagement
Giving families the means to participate in the care process, to view activities being undertaken and to receive automated reporting, provides reassurance and a simpler method of managing family engagement.
Providing an automated method to communicate with their family member, takes pressure off staff and saves time and reporting.
Cross generational and cross cultural engagement becomes increasingly easy and family communication becomes more fun. With a better awareness of local activities, its possible for families to more easily plan visits and with ReMe’s cloud hosted photo albums, they become more memorable.
Client Acquisition
Prospective clients recognise the benefits of remote family access, care monitoring and automatic reporting. They’re more likely to choose your care home than others thereby increasing occupancy and cash flow.
That can be worth a lot.
Care Assessment
ReMe is not care planning software, but does offer a module for documenting conditions, that can be updated remotely by family and used to brief other care facilities in the event of a temporary transfer.
ReMe can be integrated with care planning software.
Portability
Should a resident travel, or need to go to hospital, then ReMe is available to carers, so that the nurse can better know the person they are caring for.
All content remains the properly of the person cared for and/or their families.
Stepdown Support
Having a centralised library of knowledge of the person can make transitions, such as from home care to a care home, or to ward care, easier as carers and nurses can engage with a fuller knowledge of the person, thereby putting the person cared for more at their ease.
Case Study
Extract CQC Report
‘The home had recently introduced an electronic reminiscence tool (RemindMeCare) that enables them to build a profile of the person and continually helps staff to learn and understand the person’s life history. The information is accessed using a media tablet and includes pictures, music and personal memories and messages from families that can be loaded onto the system remotely. The lifestyle coordinator spent time explaining to us how they use this system to engage with people and promote conversation with them about their past’.
‘We saw one person using the system. They were viewing and talking about pictures their family had up loaded. The person appeared happy and was engaged in meaningful conversation with the lifestyle coordinator. Comments for example were, “Oh I remember that house. I lived there in 1957 and “That’s our first car. We had so much fun in that”. People were also able to listen and enjoy music from their past.
