About the LifeBio Approach

1
Web – Gain premium access to www.lifebio.com for your organization’s participants. Any web-based PC, laptop, or tablet can be used. The senior and/or his family, staff member, or volunteer can access LifeBio.com to build a short “Story" (in as little as 30 minutes) or a long “Biography" using LifeBio’s easy-to-use online biography templates. Photos, videos, family history data and more can be added and stored inside LifeBio. Information can also be viewed or printed on demand, to make the life story available for staff, family, or others to learn more about the whole person. web based

2
App – Record videos of the senior sharing his or her life story using the LifeBio Studio iPad app (and soon the app will be available for both Windows Mobile and Android as well). If typing or writing isn’t a good option, the LifeBio app now makes it easy to just speak the story and have it saved into the “LifeBio Cloud" for safekeeping and viewing later. LifeBio Studio prompts the participant to share their story with a variety of templates to video record more about his or her childhood, school days, work experiences, family relationships, and more. recorded

3
Journals – LifeBio’s "low tech" options such as journals give a variety of formats for capturing life stories in writing. The "Life Story Guide" takes the biography a step further with 20 essential questions to know more about the person’s background and experiences. For those who may want or need a more detailed process, the “Life Story Journal" or the “Memory Journal" are used with active seniors who may want to work in a group and take a LifeBio 101 class together. Group LifeBio 101 classes promote engagement and companionship, helping build stronger relationships between seniors as they learn more about each other. As a LifeBio Authorized Organization, LifeBio will even assist in typing information into www.lifebio.com from the book format. journal

Memory Care Tools – LifeBio’s “About Me" template on the web is a very simple way to learn more about a person immediately upon engagement or move in. Family members can complete this simple “About Me" bio using the private and secure LifeBio website.
