LifeBio captures life stories in senior living and health care organizations. We have introduced a new app called LifeBio Memory (available on iOS or Android tablets or smartphones) to assist your organization in learning and knowing the person's story. The app will voice record a person's story OR it can help the family record the story too (if someone is unable to communicate themselves).

BENEFITS
LifeBio partners with communities and organizations to use the power of life story to impact care. Life stories improve overall quality, personal relationships, and health outcomes. LifeBio uses high tech methods (like our app or web methods) or low tech methods (such as Phone Interviews or Journals) to capture the story information. On-demand training through the app and "live" Getting Started Training are two ways training is delivered to staff.
Knowing a person’s background and preferences can help defuse difficult situations and lessen boredom and anxiety. LifeBio highlights a person’s life patterns and preferences, helping direct care staff learn the best approach to care. During LifeBio phone interviews, family members provide key biographical information to help your organization deliver the best quality service.
Besides the digital story captured, a popular option is for the LifeBio story process to create these materials. Let's discuss what's preferred for your organization's needs.

Marketing Advantage
Family expectations are high. They expect staff to know the whole person. LifeBio helps marketing, life enrichment, and staff in all levels of care work together to ease onboarding and transitions.
LifeBio differentiates your community in competitive markets. Demonstrating higher levels of connection can enhance the lives of those who participate, their families, and staff. LifeBio can use your initial marketing and social history data as a starting point to build a thorough life story for each resident.
Additional Services
In addition to our life story services, LifeBio powers MyHello, a phone-based loneliness intervention. Some people struggle more with social isolation than others, and MyHello is a solution. Weekly one-on-one or group calls provide meaningful engagement for those who are isolated. MyHello is a great tool for those who require more attention or individual interaction from staff.
MyHello can be used by itself or in conjunction with our other LifeBio services. For more information about MyHello options click here.

“I love LifeBio because it validates people’s lives when they remember important things they did in the past. Even though most of my clients have some form of dementia, I have found that when you ask specific questions, it seems easier for them to access their memories. Asking the questions LifeBio offers can also lead to meaningful conversations, which in itself is a mentally stimulating and social activity.
I truly believe the best thing about LifeBio is how it increases my client’s self-esteem and confidence. Many people with dementia are aware of their memory loss, which can lead to a decrease in engaging in activity, insecurity, and depression. When my clients remember something from their past, it gives me the opportunity to tell them how much they DO remember, rather than how much they do not. It makes them feel special, more alert, and definitely happier!"
