Our Story
When my mom began having cognitive issues that made it impossible for her to live on her own, she moved in with me. I knew it would be a challenge, but she did not want to be in a care home, and I wanted to be with her at this time in her life.
Even with daily assistance from a caregiver, it was a challenge to create an environment and schedule for my mom that was consistent and delivered what she needed to be comfortable and safe. Having a daily schedule that I could share with her caregivers and follow myself was the only way to ensure that mom got not only the care she needed to live comfortably, but was participating in activities that I already knew she enjoyed and helped her improve her mood and cognition.
Her caregivers and I learned a lot from that experience, and that is where BetterDay got its start. From whiteboard to Google Sheets to an app designed to give caregivers a way to create better days for the people they love.
I am excited to share this big step forward in supporting the people who provide the care that so many of us need at the end of our lives. Please give BetterDay a try and let me know how we can make it better for you!
