Hi everyone,
I along with my fellow teammates from the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London are working towards helping caregivers on their journey while caring for their loved ones going through dementia.
This project comes from a personal space of having to witness it for my parents and how helpless they have been at times when they didn't know who to reach out to through their journey. A few years back my grandpa was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and that slowly and gradually changed the lives of my parents completely.
We are trying to build an application/online platform to help family caregivers access emotional and functional support.
It would really help this project if you could answer some of the questions we had.
1. What kind of information helped/would have helped at the time of AD diagnosis?
2. Where do you go for AD and care-related information?
3. Who are the people you’d want to speak to for emotional and mental support? At what point do you need this support?
4. During which day-to-day care-related activities do you feel stuck/overwhelmed? What kind of support would help?
5. What are small breaks/things you do to rest while caring daily?
6. What kind of help would allow you to take more breaks?
If there are other aspects of your caregiving experience you would want to share and talk about, please let us know. We appreciate all your help.
