The Caring Light App provides information about how to cope with the difficulties related to caring for a person with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementia. This self-paced program also contains calming mindfulness practices that may help during stressful moments.
Our educational curriculum covers the common aspects of caregiving that may overwhelm caregivers, and explains exercises designed to alleviate related stress.
The app has short video lessons, including:
* About Dementia
* Get Prepared for Caregiving
* Reduce Stressful Moments
* Understand What is Happening
* Practical Tips for Difficult Situations
* Take Care of Yourself
The calming practices of the app feature an introduction to mindfulness and short exercises that can be followed daily. Each practice provides voice instructions with soothing background video and music. The mindfulness exercises were developed by Renée Burgard, LCSW, Mindfulness & Health.
The Caring Light 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.
This project was supported by Award Number R44AG055209 from the National Institute on Aging. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institute on Aging or the National Institutes of Health.
This app does NOT explain how to provide care for a person with Alzheimer’s Disease or related dementia. For example, the app does NOT cover: how to bath, dress, feed, and treat an individual.
IMPORTANT: please consult with your doctor before doing any exercise on this app. This is an informational app only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, legal, financial, or other professional services advice.
We hope that enjoy your app!
