2nomi® is borne of caregiving. We understand the market we serve first-hand because we’re not just selling to industry, we are ourselves, caregivers, within it. 2nomi® has seen the need for life story work and its effectiveness in a variety of treatments. We have also seen the demand for our easy-to-use products and tools, which are specifically designed to meet the needs of caregivers, caregiving facilities, patients, and their families. We began 2nomi® to provide the most targeted, comprehensive, and easy-to-use life story products available.
Unlike a life history form that is often kept filed away, a hard-bound life storybook with large, full-color photographs and text detailing positive memories can provide the person with an immediate visual and tactile sensory stimulation should they be anxious or in need of an activity or a personal interaction with a care partner.
Life story work is one of the best ways to provide person-centered care, a conceptual model of health care delivery that differs from traditional task and disease-oriented health care models through an emphasis on holistic practice and focus on assuring that healthcare decisions respect the perspectives, needs, values, priorities and life history of the person. A focus on person-centered care drives a culture change in care by treating the person as a whole, placing importance on understanding the physical, psychological, emotional, social status, and life story of the person and including this understanding into care planning and daily care practices.
Just as importantly, life story work will allow loved ones to honor and celebrate a person’s life story and share that story with care partners to enhance care for the one they love. Life story work has the potential to enable care staff to “see the person behind the patient”. 2nomi®enables you to build a life story work in a particular way that helps others “see” your loved one as a person and “hear” them with an understanding of exactly what comforting care is required when they are unable to voice their needs.
In 4 easy steps, you can craft this very important work of art that tells the life story and care requirements of your loved one.
The 2nomi® online system makes it simple to upload photos and provide the information necessary to create a beautiful, custom life story in a durable, bound photobook which is then delivered to your home or care facility.
We hope you find 2nomi® life story products as comforting as they are effective in promoting person-centered care.
