Elli Cares – Cognitive Support 17+

As someone living with Younger Onset Dementia since age 52 (now 59), I can’t say enough about how much I love the ellicaresapp, not just for myself, but also for my husband, who is my primary support system.

One of the daily challenges we faced was managing my medication schedule. My husband often had to remind me to take my pills, and I’d sometimes answer "yes" just to ease his worry, only to discover later that I hadn’t actually taken them. Since using ellicares, this has completely changed. The app’s beeping reminders on my phone prompt me to take my medications and interact with the app to confirm. This simple feature not only helps me stay consistent but also notifies my husband when I’ve taken them, no more asking or uncertainty.

Another standout feature is the location tracking. It gives both me and my family peace of mind. Whether I’m out for a walk or driving, my husband can easily check where I am. In today’s world, safety is a concern for everyone, but it’s especially crucial for those of us with cognitive challenges. I always encourage others in my situation to share their location with someone they trust.

Looking ahead, I’m also comforted by the safe zones feature. When my cognition declines further, alerts will let my family know if I’ve wandered beyond designated areas, allowing me to remain safely at home for as long as possible.

The developers of ellicares are continuously working to improve the app, adding features like news, tips, and insights, all easily accessible and user-friendly on my phone.

I wholeheartedly recommend ellicares to anyone living with dementia or caring for a loved one with this condition. It’s truly a lifeline, improving safety, communication, and peace of mind for both individuals and their families.

Best,

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback Laurie!

We aim to continue to make improvements and add further features and functionality as advised by our users like you!

Love the concept of this app, however the mechanics of the app are so undeveloped and it’s extremely difficult to interface with especially when communicating to family members of a certain age to set up an account. Wish there was the ability for multiple family members to track our loved ones. Will delete my account (if it will event let me) and hope that the developers make some progress for the app’s future.

Hi NattyLiv,

Firstly, many apologies for taking so long to respond to your review, we've only just seen it!
I understand your frustration and we've taken so much feedback on board from our customers. We released a really big update to our app about 3 days ago and our users love it! The update has addressed the things you mentioned so we hope you'll give it another try and we can change your mind :)

Next month we aim to release our multiuser functionality (Care Team) so that you can include your family members in the journey to support your loved one. I look forward to hearing what you think of Elli Cares 2.0!
