Riparo — a calm companion for family caregivers

You

Should she stop taking her tablets? They make her drowsy.

Riparo · fixed answer, no AI involved

This app cannot advise about medicines. Please ask the prescriber or pharmacist who knows their situation.

That is the whole answer. Nothing is added, softened, or explained around it — and no AI model ever sees the question.

Some questions get a person, not an answer.

Riparo answers caregiving questions — the shower, the repeated question, the long night. Questions about medicines, health, or a new or sudden change get one fixed reply: who to ask instead.

Practical steps first

What to do now, then why it can work. One idea at a time.
Every answer names its sources

Guidance is evidence-checked against published national dementia guidance, and you can open the sources yourself.
It knows when to tell you to get help

Some questions need a professional. Riparo says so plainly, and says who to ask.

What Riparo will not do

We help you notice danger, stay safe, and know when to contact a professional. We do not diagnose, and we do not advise about medicines. When a question needs a doctor, a pharmacist or emergency help, Riparo says exactly that — and nothing else.

Emergency guidance is written in advance and never touched by AI. That is checked on every build.

What you get

Three quiet tools, built for tired days — for families facing Alzheimer’s or another dementia.

Ask

Describe the moment. Get steps, not lectures.

Day or night, you write what is happening in your own words. Riparo answers for your situation — what to do first, then why it can work.

You

She keeps asking when Dad is coming home. I have answered ten times.

Riparo

Answer the feeling first — she may be asking for reassurance, not the time. Keep your reply short, warm, and the same each time, so the words themselves become familiar.
