Communication, Overcoming Communication Barriers, Service User & Care Communication

Famileo

Company Overview

Famileo aims at enriching communication between care home, families and residents.   For older adults, keeping in touch via technology such as zoom or skype can be very confusing, some residents struggle with phone calls from families/ friends. To help, Famileo developed a solution allowing residents to receive steady news from their family on a paper format. Having something physical means it’s tangible and residents can pick it up and reread it at any time. Each family upload content on the Famileo app. Once a week, these messages are turned into a personalised newsletter which is printed at the care home and distributed to the resident.   

This tool brings families affected by dementia a great deal of comfort. Residents receiving family news this way have reported feeling valued and it has given them a sense of purpose which increased their wellbeing. Seeing old photos, snaps of life, babies, familiar places… contributes to a natural reminiscence therapy as it triggers the memory of residents. 

From their own platform, care homes can send messages and photos to the family members as well as create their own newsletter to keep track of everything going on in the home.

The French company’s product is used across Europe and North America by care home professionals in more than 2,000 settings and is counting 160,000 families using it to keep connected and memories alive.
