A keepsake for family,
a compass for care
When someone moves into care, staff know their medications and medical history, but little of the life that shaped who they are. WellKnown turns a few relaxed, recorded conversations into two meaningful things: a written life story for families to cherish and pass down, and a focused summary that helps staff see the person behind the chart.
WellKnown was founded by Anthony (Tony) Reinhart, a journalist who has spent more than 35 years interviewing people and writing about their lives, including at The Globe and Mail and the Waterloo Region Record. He is a National Newspaper Award winner and lives in Waterloo, Ontario. He uses software he designed to help turn his interviews into stories, and he edits every one himself before a family sees it.
WellKnown is in its early days and is working with a small number of families in and around Waterloo Region. If you would like to learn more, please write to us.
