Bob is a 90 year old grandfather with memory/cognitive impairment.

Jane kept a detailed diary, summarizing their day-to-day interactions with the GeriJoy Companion, and how they have incorporated it into their family and care team. The following are select entries from that diary, shared with her permission.

Case Study: Improving quality of life in an assisted care facility

This is the story of how GeriJoy helped a patient at Evergreen Residence, a leading provider of Assisted Living and Alzheimer’s Care  in California’s Central Valley.
