About A better visit

Created by Dementia Australia, this is a free app that uses games to help improve communication between people with dementia, and their families. 

Our review

The app is designed to help families have a ‘Better Visit’ with their family member living in residential care. Often family members struggle to interact and engage with a family member who no longer recognises them. This application assists with engaging the family members and results in a ‘Better Visit’ for everyone.

The app is available for free for iPads on AppStore and for Tablets on Google Play.

A Better Visit has been developed in collaboration by Dementia Australia, Lifeview Residential Care and Swinburne University of Technology’s Future Self and Design Living Lab.
