Seniors with dementia are not only at a higher risk for the virus, but at a higher risk for lonliness, isolation, and depression, while their family members are at a loss of how to engage meaningfully. Gem is a tool that allows caregivers to learn cognifitive therapies to do with seniors with dementia - via teletherapy. Activites are designed to utilize scientifically proven methods for reducing dementia decline while also fostering companionship and resillience for all parties involved.
