Carers can use CARISA anytime to help them offer planned or impromptu moments of social-emotional support for residents (just grab a tablet and start). For visiting family members, of any age, CARISA gives them ways to engage with their loved ones – beyond the usual empty transaction of “what did you have for breakfast?” For residents, this means more moments to be and feel connected, heard, valued and fulfilled. And possibly help to improve their quality of life and health span.
