Dementia Caring Response vs Lizzy Care

Caring Response is designed to help caregivers of someone with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementia to understand and deal with the difficult behaviors of a person with dementia, alleviate stress, and improve quality of life. This self-paced program also contains calming relaxation exercises that may help during stressful moments. Our educational curriculum covers the common difficult behaviors that may overwhelm caregivers and explains possible approaches for coping with these challenging situations. The app has short video lessons about difficult behaviors, including: * Agitation * Aggression * Anxiety * Confusion * Hallucinations * Irritability * Not recognizing Family * Repetition * Suspicion * Wandering The program incorporates simple practices based on Virtual Patient strategies (role-playing cases of people with dementia and caregivers). The Caring Response curriculum is based on past research by Photozig, Inc. and Stanford University, with the participation of Dr. Gallagher Thompson, Dr. Thompson, and associates. We hope that our curriculum may teach skills and help families dealing with caregiving, as it has helped many caregivers in our past research studies.
