Carers’ And Relatives’ Image-driven Socialisation Activities

Want to help us reduce social isolation in aged care through the innovative use of digital image cards?

For 30 years we have been creating games and activities that turn family gatherings and business meetings into moments of enjoyable, meaningful human connection. You probably know us mostly for our image card games and of course, CCS Cards, but we have wide experience in education, L&D, counselling, coaching, facilitation, graphic and digital design.

With the support of the University of Newcastle's I2N Accelerator Program, we have now formed a healthcare tech startup to apply our expertise to a big problem ... social isolation in residential aged care.

People need human connection – without it, a person is at risk of serious mental, physical and behavioural decline.

Sadly, 1 in 3 aged care residents are socially isolated – with many spending up to 50% of their time alone.

We believe we can help solve this problem through the innovative use of digital image-driven activities.

 

How can you help?

We are currently seeking aged care homes and carers to help us pilot our platform and activities. We have several pilots running in the Central Coast region of NSW (and also in Scotland!), and we would love to have a few more.

If you or your organisation may be able to help, please get it touch with the form below.
