Most care providers who perform home services like cleaning or shopping say that all their time is spent "doing things" and that they rarely have time to "just visit." With the Giraff, you can visit a client for just a few minutes in between appointments no matter where you are.
A lot of home care technology is about replacing caregivers with robots or other devices that perform tasks for residents. The Giraff is the "un-robot" -- a communications device that allows you to be with your clients more often, not less.
Videoconferencing services like Skype are widely used to help caregivers stay in touch with their clients. However, many dementia sufferers have difficulty relating to a person on a desktop computer, and are intimidated by having to enter the technology world, even if just to move a mouse and click on an icon. But the Giraff comes into their world and allows them to interact with a visitor just as if they were really there.
Most caregivers spend a significant part of their day just driving from house to house (and are often not paid for that time). Use the Giraff to visit clients on the other side of town in between appointments, and use your time better.
