“I have been using the Dementia Caregiver Solutions App for about a week now. I find this App very user friendly. The type size and font is perfect for everyone to read. When choosing a topic under the “Behaviour Issues” page, each topic has been broken down into Problem and Solution, making it very easy to read. Each solution has been written so that anyone can understand it. The stars beside each solution make it easier to not get lost in each point. I love that the “Contact Us” page shows a picture of each person who contributed to designing the App. This App gives anyone the ability to quickly look up a problem that you may be having that day and finding some solutions right away. I would definitely recommend this App.” ~ Kim Jackson, Driving Miss Daisy – Chilliwack
