For families living with Alzheimer's and dementia

Caring for someone with Alzheimer's or dementia, together

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, and it changes daily life - routines, memory, safety, and who does what each day. LumaCare keeps your whole family and care team on the same page, so care stays consistent and calm even as needs change.

One day with Mum, and the family who remember for her

A short film about how LumaCare helps a family living with dementia - press play when you're ready.

Read the video transcript

Mum has started to forget. So now, the whole family remembers for her.

But everyone holds a different piece. Did she take her tablets? Has she eaten? And somehow, every question lands on you.

Meet LumaCare. One shared place where the whole family remembers together, so it doesn’t all rest on you.

At eight, Anna gives Mum her tablets and ticks them off. So when Mum rings to ask, for the third time, if she’s had them, you know: yes.

At the memory clinic, the doctor asks how she’s been sleeping. You weren’t there at night, but Dad wrote it down. So you ask LumaCare.

At work, Anna’s handover arrives: lunch eaten, a walk in the sun, tablets on time. You didn’t have to call once.

Around five, Mum wants to go home, though she’s already there. Tom’s with her tonight. He follows your evening routine, and slowly, she settles.

And the good moments are kept too. Mum, singing every word of her favourite song.

The whole family remembers together. And you’re not carrying it alone anymore.

When you're caring for someone with Alzheimer's or dementia

Dementia care is rarely one person's job - and the details that keep your loved one safe are easy to lose between everyone involved.

The same questions, every day"Did she take her tablets?" "Has he eaten?" "Did anyone sleep last night?" You're constantly checking because forgetting has real consequences.

Routines that slip between carersEach helper does things a little differently, and for someone with dementia, an unfamiliar routine can mean confusion, agitation, or a difficult day.

Medications that can't be missedDoses at the wrong time - or twice by mistake - are a real risk when several people share the care. The margin for error is small.

Changes no one connectsMore confusion in the evenings, eating less, sleeping poorly - the early signs of a change are easy to miss when no one sees the whole picture.

Repeating yourself to every carerBriefing each new helper on history, preferences, and what calms your loved one is exhausting - and things still get lost.

Carrying it largely aloneEven with siblings and helpers involved, the mental load of holding it all together usually falls on one person.

A better way

Built for the realities of Alzheimer's and dementia care

Everything your family needs to keep care steady, safe, and shared - in one place.

Consistency

Familiar routines, every shift

People living with Alzheimer's or another dementia usually do best with calm, predictable days. Capture the routines that work - mealtimes, bedtime, what soothes agitation - as step-by-step guides every carer can follow, so care feels the same no matter who's there.

  • Step-by-step care guides for daily routines and calming strategies
  • One trusted profile with history, preferences, and what to avoid
  • New helpers get up to speed without a long handover

Safety

Medication safety across every carer

Set each medication and its schedule once. Carers confirm doses with a tap, get reminders when one is due, and safety guardrails block accidental double-dosing. If a dose is missed, the family is alerted automatically.

  • Reminders and one-tap confirmation for every scheduled dose
  • Missed-dose alerts escalate to a family member
  • A clear, shared history of exactly what was given and when

  • Ask AI plain-language questions about patterns and changes
  • Bring real observations to the GP, the memory clinic and specialist appointments
Ask AI

How has her sleep been this week?

She's been more restless than usual - waking 2-3 times most nights, and twice she got up after midnight. Sleep was calmer on the days she had an afternoon walk.

FAQ

Questions about Alzheimer's and dementia care

Is LumaCare for Alzheimer's disease or for all types of dementia?

Both. LumaCare organises the everyday care around a person living with dementia, whatever the cause - Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia or another form. It keeps the routines, medication, observations, appointments and the people who help in one shared place.

Can the whole family and our helpers use it together?

Yes. Invite siblings, grandchildren, neighbours or a paid helper. Each person signs in with their own login and only sees what their role allows. Everyone is covered by the family's plan: up to 3 people on the free Starter plan, 10 on Family and unlimited on Premium.

Does LumaCare help as Alzheimer's progresses?

As needs change, update the care guides and medication schedules, and every carer follows the new routine from their next shift. The shared log shows how sleep, appetite and mood change over weeks and months, and you can turn it into a care report for the GP or memory clinic.

Does LumaCare give medical advice?

No. LumaCare helps you organise and share the care - it doesn't diagnose, treat or replace advice from a doctor or nurse. Talk to the GP or memory clinic about symptoms and medication.

Is my loved one's data safe?

LumaCare is built with privacy by design. All data is encrypted, stored in EU data centres, and fully GDPR compliant - including Article 9 protections for health data.

Bring calm and coordination to Alzheimer's and dementia care
