Become a LifeBio Certified Community: Tell and Share Life Stories & Capture Lasting Legacies in Your Local Area

LifeBio provides a suite of life story recording resources, specifically designed for elder communities, active adult communities, hospice, assisted living, nursing homes, adult day care, senior centers, and individual people. These resources include step-by-step training, web-based tools, the Memory Journal, audio recording kits, and personalized book creation.

What benefits does LifeBio offer you?

• Gift of Story - It's time to give the gift of an elder's story to their family and friends--before it's too late. Why should we learn more about the incredible people in our midst at their memorial services than when we had the opportunity during their lives?
  
• Quality - It's time to know people in order to deliver more person-appropriate and quality activities. Federal interpretative guidelines for nursing homes (F-248) now say that activities must be "person-appropriate". If we don't really know them, how will we really know what activities will be most relevant?
  
• New Conversation - It's time to take conversation to a whole new level. Reminiscence can easily become a LifeBio Legacy Book of stories and memories. Instead of just talking about the past, let's get some of those experiences typed or written down. "Autobiography for older adults is like chocolate for the brain," says Gene Cohen, author of the Mature Mind.
  
• Instant, Professional Books - It's now easier and faster than ever before to create autobiographies or biographies and no special skills are required. Every unique individual has life lessons, values, and real-world wisdom to share! Let's help them share it!
  
• Bring in the Community - It's time for the community-at-large to know the incredible people that call your community "home." Implementing LifeBio will set you apart from other caregivers and help families see how much you care. It's also a great way to involve volunteers, family, friends, and students in a meaningful and lasting project. They will always treasure the Legacy Book they create.
