WHY IS IT NEEDED?
The videographic tools created by I Remember Home can take multiple forms, but the primary form is that of a DVD. By compiling an historical record of specific items, events, music, sounds, cultural iconography, religious life, and family media into a single creative medium, specific memory triggers can be made readily available to your loved one.
The content for these compilations is gathered through a consultation with the family / friend of the recipient. Once content for the compilation is gathered, it is structured into a semi-chronological piece the combines the life that they once knew with the life that they are coming to know.
It is critically important to encourage your loved one to see the entire picture of their life rather than clinging desperately to one time period in spite of another. I Remember Home structures its compilations to show relation between then and now / now and then in a way that both honors memories and connects them to your loved one's current situation. Focusing just on what once was can actually be counter-productive to a healthy transition.
