Geri-Gadgets®
Making a Difference In Quality of Life
Dementia is a global challenge, affecting over 55 million people worldwide, with 10 million new cases diagnosed each year—yet there is still no cure. At Geri-Gadgets®, we’re committed to making a difference for those living with dementia and the caregivers who support them.
​
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to improve the lives of individuals in the moderate to late stages of dementia by providing safe, engaging, and high-quality products that spark joy and offer relief—without the need for supervision.
​
Discover how Geri-Gadgets® can bring comfort, connection, and ease to both individuals with dementia and their caregivers, making each day more engaging and fulfilling.
OUR VISION
Geri-Gadgets® Inc. began as a personal mission to find meaningful engagement for the founder's own mother, who was struggling with dementia. Today, we create sensory tools that foster joy, independence, and connection for aging adults, individuals with dementia, and neurodivergent communities. Our goal is simple: make engaging, failure-free experiences accessible to all through thoughtful, inclusive design.
OUR MISSION
We design safe, durable, and easy-to-use sensory tools that promote creativity, independence, and comfort for aging and neurodivergent individuals.
