Keeps them connected to who they are
“I think that that life book is really valuable. It especially helps them if they have dementia, it helps them to connect with who they are because they still are that person, even though they can’t recall it. It makes them a person rather than just a biological entity that they’re treating.”

Trust is earned through every interaction
“The SeeInMe program aligns closely with our belief that trust is earned through every interaction. This approach helps foster continuity of care, improves communication, and creates opportunities for more engaging and purposeful daily experiences.”

I really like this. I feel like it’s everything that is important
“I really like this. I feel like it’s everything that is important, like the behavioral, especially the routines, the checklist — those are things that really flow with a dementia person like they like the same things. It gets so bad when new things kinda come into play because it’s hard for them.”

Family members don’t have to repeat themselves
“This is amazing, by the way. Oh my gosh, I love that there’s a picture because that connects you right away, right? When you see a picture, when you see a face. That will connect any provider, any person with. This is an actual person and I love that. They’re (family members) not having to repeat this information to people. Oh my gosh, this is huge. If a caregiver were to get hit by a bus that day and they’re the ones that are going to have all — who’s going to know — this is going to be so unbelievably helpful.”

Here’s my person for somebody who’s brand new
“I love this, just the one page that’s sort of a snapshot of ‘here’s my person’ for somebody who’s brand new. I love that. This isn’t the information we can constantly communicate with the caregivers here or the staff. So to have that just readily available to them, I think it’d be great.”

Quick access to daily routines and special needs
“The thing I would most want to look at... Daily routine. Because of the nature of what I do, I need to know when you’re eating, how you’re taking your meds. So I would look at daily routines pretty regularly. And I want to know that right away — Do they have a mobility device? Are they safe to move around? Do they have a hearing aid like that’s super helpful for me to know. Yeah, those are the things that I’m most likely going to look at first.”
