Bringing Joyful Connection to Care: Always Best Care + Memory Lane Games
At Always Best Care, we know that great care means supporting the whole person, body, mind, and spirit. That’s why we’re proud to integrate Memory Lane Games into our personalized home care services.
This award-winning app uses reminiscence therapy-inspired games to spark memories, create calm, and most powerfully of all, provide gentle redirection when it’s needed most.
What is Memory Lane Games?
Memory Lane Games is a simple, frustration-free app designed to support people living with dementia through visual, short-form games. Using familiar photos, gentle prompts, and meaningful themes, it helps clients feel calm, connected, and confident.
There are no timers, no scores, and no pressure. Just meaningful moments, tailored to each individual.
Why it Works
Caring for someone with dementia means navigating moments of distress, confusion, or repetition. What we love about Memory Lane Games is the power to redirect those moments in a positive, compassionate way.
Whether someone is anxious, agitated, or stuck in a loop, the app can shift their focus to something familiar and enjoyable. Just a few minutes can change the mood, ease behaviors, and spark a smile.
Other key benefits include:
- Gently stimulating memory and conversation
- Helping reduce anxiety and repetitive behaviors
- Supporting routines and structured calm
- Strengthening bonds between clients, caregivers, and families
- Offering joyful redirection during challenging moments
How We Use It
Our care teams use Memory Lane Games at key times in the day:
- To ease transitions, like before meals or bedtime
- During challenging behaviors, to redirect attention gently and positively
- As a regular routine, bringing comfort and familiarity
- To build connection, sharing stories and laughter with clients and their loved ones
With thousands of games across topics like music, food, animals, hobbies, and local landmarks, there’s always something to engage and soothe.
Personalized Care
Every person’s story is different and so is every care plan. That’s why we love the personalized features of Memory Lane Games. Tailor the experience to reflect each client’s interests, background, and even create custom games using their own family photos and history.
This makes each redirection moment not just calming but deeply meaningful.
What Families Are Saying
“We’ve tried everything — this was the first thing that actually calmed Dad down without upsetting him.”
“Mum was getting really stuck in a loop, and this helped us gently move on without distress.”
“It brought back her spark. We ended up chatting for half an hour after playing.”
Compassion Meets Innovation
At Always Best Care, we combine heart-led care with meaningful tools that enhance everyday life. Memory Lane Games is more than an app; it’s a new way for us to bring calm, connection, and redirection into care, one joyful moment at a time.
