How to Use the VivaViv App

In our August 2024 blog article, “Help! We Need a Caregiver. Where Do We Start?” we have recommended that your first step should be to Sign Up for the VivaViv App.

Finding the right carer to support your loved one is a big decision, furthermore monitoring the care that is being provided is also essential as this will make a significant difference in their quality of life.

Here is how our VivaViv app can assist you:

  1. Determine Your Loved One’s Needs

Before you begin setting up the app, take some time to assess what kind of care is needed.

Consider:

  • Daily tasks: Mealtimes and added snacks, bathing, dressing, cooking, cleaning, and personal care tasks.
  • Hobbies & Activities: Listening to the radio, watching TV, puzzles, reading or light exercise.
  • Outdoor Time: Sitting in the garden or a short neighbourhood walk.
  • Medical Needs: Medication reminders, mobility support
  • Specialised care: Dementia support, Palliative care
  • Companionship: Engaging conversations and activities.

With a clear understanding of these needs, you can create a daily schedule on the VivaViv App. Your carer will then have a clear schedule of what is needed in the day-to-day of your loved one and can action completed tasks, ensuring nothing is overlooked.

  1. Stay Connected in Real Time

VivaViv offers transparency and peace of mind:

  • Maintaining connection: Clarity about what is happening helps you stay connected with your loved one, even when you’re not there. Simply open the app to see what has transpired.
