The team behind Home to Stay Home Care Solutions has been providing top-tier home care services to families in New Jersey since 1989. With this experience, we know and recognize the importance of seamless communication and effective care management, which is why we chose to focus on integrating innovative technologies into our operations: the AlzBetter app for care partners and WellSky’s electronic record-keeping system. The purpose of these two platforms is to improve ongoing communication, streamline care, and improve overall client satisfaction.
Understanding the AlzBetter App
The AlzBetter app is designed to provide family caregivers with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively care for loved ones with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. This proprietary app serves as both an in-depth toolkit and an educational resource, making the caregiving experience easier and improving outcomes for those receiving care. Here’s how the AlzBetter app benefits our Home To Stay families:
Manage Challenging Expressions
The app addresses one of the most complex aspects of dementia care: managing challenging expressions such as agitation, aggression, or anxiety. This feature helps caregivers recognize patterns, understand triggers, and tailor responses to reduce stress and improve the well-being of the person with dementia.
Redirection Toolkit
Effective redirection techniques are essential for maintaining a calm environment and addressing the needs of those with dementia. The AlzBetter app includes a Redirection Toolkit, which offers practical strategies and tips for redirecting the patient’s attention and managing difficult situations. These resources help caregivers navigate challenging moments with confidence.
Support Resources
Caring for someone with dementia can be difficult, isolating, and overwhelming. To provide emotional and practical support, our app connects caregivers to discussion forums and support groups to provide them with a sense of community. This allows caregivers to share experiences, seek advice, and gain support from others facing similar challenges. It also builds a network of care that extends beyond the app, reinforcing that caregivers are not alone in their efforts.
What is the Family Room portal by WellSky?

The Benefits of Technology in Home CareÂ

The integration of the AlzBetter app and WellSky software has significantly enhanced communication between our caregivers and the families we serve.
