Right now
What's happening?
They're agitated, and nothing you say is landing.
- 1Take one slow breath before you do anything. You can't calm someone if you're not calm.
- 2Pain, hunger, needing the bathroom, or an infection can all cause agitation. These need to be ruled out first.
- 3Speak slowly and softly. Don't argue, correct, or explain. Match their emotional tone — validate what they're feeling, not the facts.

Made by a family carer who was up at 3am too.
It's 6pm.
The bath, again.
You know the moment. The one you dread all day.
The sundowning. The refusing to eat. The “I want to go home” when you’re already home. In that moment you don’t know what to do — and there’s no one to ask.
What settled them last time, medication times, appointments — it all lives in your head. And when you forget, the guilt is crushing.
Googling at 2am
Eleven tabs. Generic advice. None of it about your mum.
Asking a chatbot
Starts from zero every time. It doesn't know what you tried last Tuesday.
The carer forum
Kind strangers — three hours later.
OurTurn answers in seconds, with what you know about your person right beside the steps — and remembers what helped, because you told it.
How it works
Set up in three steps. Help starts today.
Tell us about them, once.
Their name, what soothes them, what they love. Two minutes.
When the moment hits, tap what's happening.
Calm steps to try right away, with your notes on what soothes them alongside.
When something helps, tap 👍.
OurTurn keeps it. Next time, 'warm towel first' is right there beside the steps.
Six months in, it knows Maria settles with the radio and the blue cardigan — because you told it once, on a hard Tuesday.
Example
A week with OurTurn
Not features. Moments.
What a hard, ordinary week looks like with a care partner in your pocket.
Tuesday, 6:15pm. The bath, again.
You tap what's happening. Calm steps to try, with your notes on what soothes her alongside.
Pause — this isn't defiance
Step back and try differently
Make it feel safe
Tuesday, 6:40pm. It helped.
You tap 👍 and write 'warm towel first'. It becomes a line in what OurTurn remembers about Maria — and it stays there.
What OurTurn remembers about Maria
Example- Warm towel first, not the word 'bath' 👍
- Music from the kitchen radio, not headphones 👍
- Ask about the bakery, never the war years 👍
Wednesday, 5pm. A gentle check-in.
If you switch on evening check-in reminders, OurTurn checks in before the hard hours, with a few calm-down steps for tonight.
Checking in on this evening
Evenings can be hard with Maria. Tap for a few calm-down steps for tonight.
Thursday, 3pm. She takes her walk.
She chose to share her location from her own phone, so you can see where it last reported. It stays her choice — she can pause it any time.
Next month. 'How have things been?'
The doctor asks. This time you have what the family wrote down — when the hard moments came, what helped — and your own questions, on one printable page.
OurTurn Care Summary
What often helped: a short walk before dinner

Also: the guides work offline · your whole family sees one calm picture · family notes and photos on their clock · and for them, a companion, not a test — no AI ever talks to them.
“When our family faced a dementia diagnosis, the hardest part wasn’t the logistics — it was the moments we didn’t know how to handle. The refusing, the repeating, the “I want to go home.” We looked everywhere for something to get us through those moments. It didn’t exist. So we built it.”
OurTurn started as one family’s need after an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. We learned from the approaches dementia carers are taught — validation, person-centred care, the DICE method — and turned them into calm, in-the-moment help any family can reach for. We’re still early, and we’d love your family to help shape it.
