When someone in your family is living with dementia, life can feel overwhelming. Routines fall apart. Conversations repeat. Once-simple tasks begin to feel unpredictable.
But supporting a loved one doesn’t need to feel stressful and complicated. Around the world, families use Elli Cares to stay more connected and in control of each day.
Dementia Affects The Whole Family
Caring for someone with dementia or cognitive impairment comes with logistical and emotional challenges for everyone involved. Family dynamics change after a dementia diagnosis, and there's the added stress of juggling work, kids, and distance.
And then there's another point of tension:
Your loved one wants to live independently. But you want to make sure they’re safe.
✅ As a family-friendly app, Elli Cares helps you achieve both.
1. Memory Prompts That Stick
Do you worry about a loved one missing appointments, medications, or forgetting other tasks?
For families, the constant anxiety of not knowing if someone with dementia is living well makes it feel like things are slipping through the cracks.
That's one of the reasons why Elli Cares offers purpose-designed reminders.
✅ In the app:
- Set up comforting text, voice, and video reminders for loved ones
- Schedule their routines ahead of time, guiding them through the day
- Use the app to support your schedule, by setting up to-do checklists
You can use these for all kinds of tasks like medications, meals, hydration, or even favourite TV shows.
A few seconds is all it takes to make a loving video reminder.

2. Safe Oversight, Even From Afar
Live away from a loved one with dementia and worry about their safety?
You’re not alone. Many people struggle with anxiety when they can't check up on loved ones in-person.
That’s where families find reassurance with the Elli app’s real-time alerts. If your loved one doesn’t respond to a reminder prompt, the app sends an alert to their care team lead in the app.
✅ You can also get updates on:
- Their location & battery level
- If they move beyond a set boundary (Safe Zone)
- Whether important reminders were completed
Say hello to a new kind of oversight that balances dignity, privacy, and safety.

3. Personalised Care
Dementia affects everyone differently.
One person might forget appointments. Another may struggle with instructions or routine tasks like locking the door. That’s why personalised video reminders are so helpful. If Dad forgets how to use the kettle, you can send them a short video clip to guide them.
✅ Families also use the app’s built-in “Ask Elli Anything” tool to get quick support. This AI-powered feature is available 24/7 with answers to common questions on dementia care.

4. Sharing The Care
Too busy to be everywhere at once?
Caring for someone with dementia is often a team effort. It may involve siblings, partners, adult children, and neighbours.
✅ Elli Cares makes that teamwork easier. People assigned to the care team can update and check on daily routines from afar. No need for overlapping calls or missed updates.
Whether you’re the primary carer or just stepping in on weekends, you stay in sync with greater ease. Everyone feels more included and on the same page.

Being There For Each Other, At Every Age

Tools like Elli Cares empower you and your family with easy tools to communicate and keep on track - reducing burden of caregiving so you can enjoy more happy moments with loved ones.
