Memoryboard: Making Caregiving Easier
In this special National Family Caregivers Month episode, All Home Care Matters and host Lance A. Slatton welcome back Tyler Zanini, CEO & Co-Founder of Memoryboard, for a meaningful conversation about recognizing family caregivers, the challenges of caring for aging loved ones, and how simple technology can help families stay connected.
Every day, millions of family caregivers help aging parents, grandparents, and loved ones navigate the challenges of daily life. For those supporting someone experiencing memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease, or dementia, the responsibilities can be especially demanding. From coordinating care and managing reminders to providing reassurance from miles away, families often need practical ways to stay involved without adding more complexity.
During this special conversation, Tyler shares how his own experience helping care for his grandmother inspired Memoryboard, and what that journey taught him about the emotional and everyday challenges families face. He explains how Memoryboard helps caregivers share messages, reminders, photos, and updates while supporting connection, familiarity, and independence for older adults.
Lance and Tyler also discuss the unique challenges of long-distance caregiving, why supporting family caregivers matters now more than ever, and how involving the entire family can make caring for a loved one feel less isolating.
With the holidays approaching, the conversation turns to another important question: What do you give an aging parent or grandparent who may be experiencing memory loss? Tyler explains why Memoryboard can be more than a traditional holiday gift—offering a way for families to share meaningful moments, send encouraging messages, and remain part of their loved one’s daily life throughout the year.
As we recognize National Family Caregivers Month, this episode is a reminder that caregiving is about more than daily responsibilities. It is about love, connection, dignity, and finding thoughtful ways to support the people who care for others.
About Memoryboard:
Memoryboard is a digital display and mobile app designed to help families stay connected with loved ones experiencing memory loss, dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other cognitive changes.
Family members and caregivers use the Memoryboard app to remotely send reminders, messages, photos, daily updates, appointments, and words of encouragement directly to a dedicated screen in their loved one’s home. The person receiving the messages does not need to download an app, remember a password, navigate menus, or learn new technology. Messages simply appear on the screen in clear, easy-to-read text.
Memoryboard was created after its founders experienced the challenges of memory loss within their own family. They wanted to create something that could help families provide structure and reassurance without making technology another source of confusion.
Memoryboard is designed to support the human side of caregiving rather than replace it, giving families a simple way to communicate, provide reassurance, and stay involved while helping loved ones maintain confidence and independence in everyday routines.
