Welcome to the Geri-Gadgets® Blog, your go-to source for information,
support, and inspiration on the journey of dementia. I'm Angela Fairhurst, the
founder of Geri-Gadgets®, and I'm honored to share this space with you.
In this inaugural blog post, I want to introduce myself, my personal connection
to dementia, and the mission behind Geri-Gadgets®.
A Personal Journey
My journey into the world of dementia started with my mother, who battled
Lewy Body Dementia for eight long years. It was a journey filled with both love
and loss, hope and despair. Like many of you, I faced the daily challenges of
caring for a loved one with dementia, watching their world change before my
eyes, and struggled to find ways to connect and bring joy to their lives.
The Birth of Geri-Gadgets®
Out of sheer desperation and a burning desire to make a difference, I founded
Geri-Gadgets®. It wasn't just about my mother; it was about the millions of
people worldwide who are affected by dementia and their dedicated
caregivers. The need for innovative solutions, meaningful engagement, and
quality of life for those living with dementia became my driving force.
Our Mission
At Geri-Gadgets®, we're on a mission to enrich lives, one moment at a time.
We believe that everyone, regardless of their cognitive abilities, deserves
moments of joy, comfort, and connection. Our sensory toys and products are
designed with love and care, specific to the sector, offering stimulation,
engagement, and respite for individuals with dementia and their caregivers.
What to Expect
In the coming blog posts, we'll explore a wide range of topics related to
dementia. We'll share practical tips for caregivers, delve into the latest
research on dementia care, and highlight inspiring stories of individuals and
families who have found hope and joy in their dementia journey.
We'll also invite guest experts and caregivers to share their insights and
experiences, making this blog a community of support and shared wisdom.
Join Us
I invite you to join us on this journey of compassion, understanding, and
empowerment. Whether you're a caregiver seeking guidance, a family
member searching for connection, or someone living with dementia seeking
moments of joy, you're not alone. We're here to provide information,
resources, and a caring community.
Thank you for being a part of the Geri-Gadgets® Blog. Together, we can
navigate the dementia journey with strength, resilience, and love.
Stay tuned for our next post, where we'll delve into practical tips for creating a
dementia-friendly environment at home.
Until then, remember that every moment counts.
With warmth and empathy,
Angela Fairhurst
