My Tools 4 Care

My Tools 4 Care was developed to help you as a care partner as you care for a person living with dementia in the community.

My Tools 4 Care was developed to help you as a care partner as you care for a person with dementia. It is based on a research study and what other care partners have told us. My Tools 4 Care can be used as you wish, by you and those close to you. These activities will “save as you go” so you can come and go as you please.

My Tools 4 Care is divided into 5 sections:

  1. About Me (activities for you to engage in);
  2. Common Changes to Expect;
  3. Frequently Asked Questions;
  4. Resources;
  5. Important Health Information.

You may choose to use different sections depending on what you feel you need. There is no need to complete any of the activities if you don’t want to. It is up to you.

We hope that My Tools 4 Care will be of help to you. You may also consider accessing support groups and/or counsellors for further information and support.
