Families curate memorable old photos into Family Albums that Residents often recognize and identify with. Photos can be enhanced with text and voice messaging. Sherish Connect augments existing memory care tools and approaches by allowing unique, person-centered care from caregivers and visitation aids for Families at a minimal cost with high value.
With a single touch on the Sherish Connect remote, Residents switch between watching TV to enjoying their new and old photo memories on their Family Albums. A welcome relief from watching TV, Residents watch an endless slideshow of unlimited photos shared from their Families and Friends.
For many seniors in long term care, watching photos of Family and Friends is a coveted and comforting activity. Caregivers and Residents can engage when new and old family photos are displayed on TV's to share in the special memories and moments.
Sherish Connect provides an easy way for Community administration to communicate with Residents by enabling staff to send Community Information Slides that display on any or all Resident's TVs. Staff can share information like daily weather, menus, activity schedules, events, birthdays, new residents, new staff, staff announcements and general health reminders. In addition to improving communications, savings are realized by streamlining the delivery of important Community information.
In pre-admission visits, the concerns of separation from Family are eased as the benefits of Sherish Connect are explained. "Visits" through new photos added by Family and Friends, no matter how far away, will be constant. During tours, Community vibrancy comes alive in the photos of Community Life shown on House Albums in common areas.
For multi-unit systems, Sherish Connect is an efficient way to connect Communities through their staff room TVs to the home office, or headquarters. Administrative messages, alerts, HR reminders and other communications can be authored using common office software and sent immediately or scheduled to any or all Communities in the system on an extremely economical basis.
