Dementia care for seniors, ready when you are
About us
Rippl is a new kind of mental health company focused on seniors and obsessed with its clinicians. Seniors with mental health challenges, especially neurocognitive conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, are overlooked and under cared for, often without access to high quality, real-time, practical care. Leveraging a value-based approach, disruptive technology, and a relentless focus on empowering and enabling its clinicians, Rippl is pioneering a new care model to dramatically expand access to high quality, wraparound mental health care for seniors, their families, and caregivers. Rippl provides 24/7 support and personalized care when and where they need it. Founded by a group of impatient optimists and doers from the country’s most iconic health care and consumer brands (who have all been caregivers themselves), and backed by visionary venture investors ARCH Venture Partners, General Catalyst, GV, F-Prime Capital and Mass General Brigham, Rippl is ready to take this urgent challenge head on. Our seniors deserve so much better. Join our movement at ripplcare.com.

#dementia is a healthcare crisis and the US needs an "all of the above" approach to addressing it. As we strive for a world without Alzheimer's and other dementias, advancements in therapeutics like #donanemab are heartening. We need innovations in both the care and the cure. Team Rippl wakes up every day determined to transform the "care" side of that equation to improve the lives of the millions #LIVINGwithDementia (and their caregivers!). #createarippl
Awesome news from the FDA today, it's a start on the toughest, most unrelenting disease out there. Until then, Rippl is building a national infrastructure to help the vast majority of seniors (and their caregivers) who just won't see the benefits of these drugs. To keep them at home and out of the ER and hospital. Lots of urgent work to do. #LIVINGwithdementia

Breaking News: The FDA has granted approval of Kisunla (donanemab) for the treatment of people living with early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease. We celebrate Kisunla’s approval as more options mean greater opportunity for more time. This is the third approval of an Alzheimer’s treatment that changes the underlying course of the disease. bit.ly/3XIyyvf

We ❤️ you Ann Dingwall, CSA, CDP, CMDCP! This is what it's all about. "Caregiving is not rocket science. If you can be a friend and can listen, you can be a caregiver. Getting out of your comfort zone helps you live longer, and wards off dementia." - Ann Dingwall, Rippl Changemaker #createarippl #whywerippl #LIVINGwithDementia #breakthestigma #moregooddays #dementia #caregiver
I had the pleasure of spending time with my 96-year-old aunt this past week, as I gave much-needed respite to my cousin who has been an informal caregiver to her mom for 7 years. My cousin never imagined that she’d be providing this much life to her mother. Putting her own life and needs on hold to keep her mother’s life as comfortable and familiar as possible. Allowing my cousin to have some time is a nice feeling, but it also gives me a chance to slow down, have a change of scenery, and observe the situation for some helpful feedback to my cousin who often feels unsupported, anxious, and lonely. This is my second respite stay here in sunny California. Giving respite is not hard, my aunt is still engageable. She and I weren’t particularly close when I was growing up, but I know her story and who she is and that is enough. My presence is more companion care and assistance, but nothing super clinical. She looks forward to my visit and we get to break the rules together. There are 53 million informal caregivers in the US. These are family members who provide life to those who need assistance. Formal care is expensive and out of sight for many. Medicaid can be a lengthy process and depletes generational wealth for those who have savings and assets with the idea of passing this along. If you are single like me, (or need a break from your spouse, partner, or kids) and can’t afford a lavish vacation somewhere, but you need a change of pace, some added sunshine maybe, mix life up a bit. (And yes, I am still in my PJ at 11 am in this photo). I challenge you to get out of your comfort zone reach out to someone you know and offer the gift of time. For an afternoon, a day, a weekend. Caregiving is not rocket science. If you can be a friend and can listen, you can be a caregiver. Getting out of your comfort zone helps you live longer, and wards off dementia. Still skeptical about your ability to help? Start by telling caregivers SPECIFICALLY how you can help. The last thing a caregiver wants to hear is “Let me know if I can help you.” Instead offer how you can help, time, errands, yard work, and a meal together. “I can mow your lawn on Sunday?” “I’m headed to Safeway, would you like me to pick up a prepped meal for you and ___?” “I notice your daughter comes by on Thursday afternoons, would you be able to get away for lunch with me? Be specific when you offer help. #caregivers #patience, #silentgeneration.

A timely perspective on the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in primary care setting. Claire Erickson and Nathaniel Chin lay out a scenario seen *daily* in primary care clinics; they discuss the barriers to dementia care today; and how alternative payment models like GUIDE may be an avenue to the solutions we need. They also lay out the critical role of #caregivers in supporting people living with dementia, and why caregivers need support from care navigators. At Rippl, we couldn't agree more, which is why we are building the leading national dementia care platform to tackle this problem head on. #LIVINGwithdementia #aboutdamntime Check out their article in the New England Journal of Medicine NEJM Group, https://lnkd.in/gb-pDb5U Kris Engskov, Jamie Sharp

Another important and thoughtful story from Ansberry Clare @ the The Wall Street Journal shining a light on the deep challenges #familycaregivers face. “My work doesn’t stop,” says Kim Moser, who manages a research lab at the University of Oklahoma while also caring for her 83-year-old mother-in-law. “There is no off switch.” The data behind these stories is eye-opening ! 😱 According to the Alzheimer's Association® Facts & Figures report: 🧠 over half of caregivers are providing assistance to a parent or in-law with #dementia 👩💼 approximately two-thirds of dementia caregivers are women 🆘 74% of caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias reported that they were “somewhat concerned” to “very concerned” about maintaining their own health since becoming a caregiver 😩 7 in 10 caregivers report that coordinating care is stressful. 💻 66% also have difficulty finding resources and support for their needs This is #whywerippl. People #LIVINGwithDementia and their caregivers deserve ongoing dementia specialty care and support. https://lnkd.in/gZevpYuT

New Research Alert! This time from the AJMC - The American Journal of Managed Care proving, once again, that the Care Ecosystem model pioneered at University of California, San Francisco and adapted at Rippl not only improves quality of life for people #LIVINGwithDementia and their #caregivers but is financially advantageous as well. Avoiding unnecessary ER visits and in-patient stays isn't merely a way to save money - it means less stress and trauma for all involved. Proactive, longitudinal care provided by an interdisciplinary care team is the answer. Report here: https://lnkd.in/gDFV_hcE Authors: R.
