PRESENTATION
The AppForDem project (Erasmus+) is aimed at creating an educational app and e-learning course -open educational resources- for caregivers of people with dementia.
MULTILINGUAL APP
The training contents of this app are available in English, Spanish, Italian and Romanian:
(ES) App educativa para cuidadores de personas con demencia
(IT) App formativa per caregivers di persone affette da demenza
(RO) Aplicatie educativa pentru ingrijitorii persoanelor cu dementa
(EN) Educational app for caregivers of people with dementia
DEMENTIA AND DAILY LIVING
This app is called "Dementia and Daily Living" because it helps provide a picture of how everyday life with dementia can work if relatives, professionals, and surroundings have sufficient knowledge and understanding of both the disease and the person behind it. Daily activities are of great importance. Daily activities help to strengthen identity and promote the experience of who you are.
THE USE OF THE APP IN TRAINING COURSES AND IN PRACTICE
The app can be used as a part of teaching about dementia and daily living in vocational education and training of professional caregivers.
In addition, many practitioners will be able to use the app in their daily work with people with dementia, especially those who work in nursing homes and home care. Non-formal caregivers (family caregivers) will be able to use the learning resources.
