Dementia Calendar & Reminder Clock - Dawn Clocks

The Dementia Calendar & Reminder Clock from Dawn Clocks is a special dementia clock that helps the user remember day and time as well as stick to their daily routines. The clock is designed specifically for people who find it easy to forget things. The functionality is very useful for Dementia or Alzheimer’s sufferers, those who have had a brain injury or memory loss, people with a disability, autism sufferers or visually impaired.  

Brings reassurance to user

As dementia or Alzheimer progresses, time-telling skills often deteriorate and are sometimes lost completely. Expectedly, this can lead to confusion, agitation and anxiety in people.  The clock reduces confusion and anger and provides structure and reassurance by giving the right information. This special clock prevents the constant repetition by the patient of asking the day or time.

This assistive technology device can have a positive impact on anyone who would benefit from a friendly reminder to do certain things throughout the day.

The Dementia Calendar & Reminder Clock has a clear digital display and 13 on-screen reminders to help remind them of daily activities. 

3 main screen options

The clock has 3 different settings that can be selected depending on the needs and habits of the person.

Calendar Display: Day – time – date, ideal for people who want all the details

Calendar and moment display: day – moment (morning/afternoon/evening/night) – time – date, great for people who are familiar with the clock but are not able to  work out the time of the day

Moment Display: Now it’s Thursday Morning, great for those who find conventional date and times confusing

13 reminder functions

This feature comes with 13 pre-set reminder messages which can be set to sound daily, weekly or as a one off. These reminders are very beneficial in helping people keep their independence and dignity whilst providing peace of mind for the carers. It will accompany the daily tasks on the screen by a sound chime with:

• 5 x medication alarms: f.i. time for your medication
• 8 x lifestyle alarms: time for breakfast, lunch, dinner; time to get dressed, time to shower; time to go to bed, check your diary; time for your appointment.

The wording is preset.
