Helps spark real conversation with someone living with dementia — even on the hard days.
Maria has been a live-in carer for Joan for two years. Some afternoons are easy. Today isn't one of them.
Joan sits by the window, quiet, somewhere far away. Maria doesn't push. She opens Together on the tablet and taps into the Photo Memories game — a simple set of warm, familiar images: a seaside town, a wedding cake, a dog running on grass.
"Does this remind you of anywhere, Joan?"
Joan looks. Pauses. "My sister had a dog like that. Brandy, his name was. Terrible behaved."
And just like that, the room changes. Joan is telling a story — about Brandy, about her sister, about a summer Maria has never heard about before. No pressure, no test, no "do you remember." Just a photo and an open door.
That's what Photo Memories is built for. It's not a quiz. There's no wrong answer. It's a gentle prompt that gives someone living with dementia a way back into their own stories — and gives carers like Maria something simple to reach for in the quiet moments.
Together includes Photo Memories and more conversation-friendly games for dementia care.
