A toolbox to make life easier for caregivers
DYNSEO has made it its mission to provide tools for caregivers to make their daily lives easier!
Are you struggling to organize and manage your personal life and your life as a caregiver? DYNSEO offers you simple and practical tools to take care of your care recipient… while taking care of yourself.
The Dynseo toolbox
If you are a caregiver, you may need the Dynseo toolbox. The goal is to provide you with a complete and innovative toolbox to support your care recipient while creating a connection.
In the toolbox, you will find a tablet with Dynseo applications as well as physical accessories like a foam ball, a massage cream, or wipes.
With this toolbox, you can support your care recipient on cognitive, emotional, and physical levels.
Scarlett, your memory coach
Memory games adapted for seniors suffering from cognitive disorders (Stroke, Alzheimer’s’s, Parkinson’s,…) to provide caregivers with activities to do together.
With over 30 games, you can prepare activities to improve the memory, attention, language, or logic of your care recipient. The games are fun and based on general knowledge to create enjoyable moments.
In some games, there is the possibility to play together, so you can also maintain a good relationship.
Dynseo Family
A simplified messaging system between the care recipient and their caregivers. No need to create an email account! Caregivers send the first messages remotely, and the care recipient is delighted to regularly receive photos and messages from their loved ones.
Seniors tend to isolate themselves as they age. This isolation affects friends as well as family. It is therefore important to create a link between the senior and their loved ones.
Hello, who is it?
An easy setup remotely by caregivers, allowing their care recipient to have summary sheets on key information about their loved ones when they call!
Memory is one of the first cognitive functions that becomes fragile with age or with neurodegenerative diseases. When memory problems manifest as forgetting loved ones, this difficulty becomes hard to manage for the person and their family.
With “Hello, who is it?”, your care recipient will no longer feel disoriented and will quickly understand who they are talking to.
E-caregivers
A network of geolocated caregivers allowing them to meet, exchange best practices, or help each other if needed.
Being a caregiver is not always simple; helping a person in a fragile situation requires physical and emotional effort. For this reason, having other caregivers to talk to can help you. Your colleagues will experience the same challenges as you, and you can share your experiences. This sharing can help you find solutions to your problems or discover new tools for your work.
And don’t forget our saying: a care recipient who is doing well, a caregiver at peace!
An online training
If you wish to use Dynseo applications with your care recipients, or if you are already using them, you can also follow the training offered by Dynseo. The training is online, so you can follow it whenever you want and you can do it over several sessions. In this training, you can find tips and strategies on using Dynseo applications with seniors, testimonials, or the most useful games according to the individual’s difficulty.
Continuing to train is important to stay updated on new digital tools, to find ideas or solutions that one might not have thought of alone, or to unite theory and practice.
