Dementia Advisor

Caring for a family member with dementia? Learn practical skills and get expert coaching through chat-based role playing. Dementia Advisor is an interactive, scenario-based training app that helps improve your communication and problem solving skills, build resilience and reduce stress.
Learn how to:
• Deal with refusal
• Manage difficult behaviours
• Deal with family tension
• Manage work-life demands
• Access and manage services
Each scenario simulates a real-life situation and takes only minutes to complete. It’s a completely different way of learning that’s made for your phone. We really hope you find this app helpful. Let us know what you think by contacting us at DementiaAdvisor.Feedback@sinaihealthsystem.ca.
The Dementia Advisor app was developed by Sinai Health System (Toronto), the Cyril & Dorothy, Joel & Jill Reitman Centre for Alzheimer’s Support & Training, in association with Acquian, a digital health technology company.
Dementia Advisor is based on the Reitman Centre CARERS Program, a clinically effective 10-week group intervention that has helped hundreds of family caregivers since 2009.
The app was funded in part from the Government of Canada’s Social Development Partnership Program – Children and Families Component.
