Making holidays special with Care Control Memory Box

Holidays can be important times for families and service users but sometimes it can be hard to visit, especially if there is a long distance to travel. Although technology will never be able to replace physical interaction Care Control wanted to develop an app that could help bridge the gap between residents and their loved ones. Memory Box was developed to make sure residents and loved ones do not feel left out or lonely and can be kept updated in family moments even if they cannot physically be there.  

Memory Box was designed to be easy to use so that staff, service users, family, and friends can upload images, text, and memories with just a couple of clicks. Service users loved ones can feel up to date in their family’s lives by seeing what activities they have been up to. “Family can see exactly what is going on with their loved ones in real-time. For them to be able to see the activities because you can take photographs and you can write up is so important. That works beautifully.” – Carol, Carich Care. (Check out our blog to see what Christmas in Care was like for Lizzy our Business Development Manager).  

But also, they can make their loved ones feel included by sharing photos of their celebrations and updates. If they have any important news to share or old photo memories of previous holiday celebrations to help unearth happy memories. Memory Box is a great way to help residents reminisce and connect with family and friends when they cannot make it to your care organisation. As Care Control is built with Care Professionals’ knowledge, we know how important it is to ensure the needs and wishes of service users are at the centre of what you do for person-centred care.
