This is the second clock we’ve bought for dementia assistance. The first was for my grandmother, and this one if for my dad. This version has definitely improved on the first model (and I don’t remember the name of that one).
Things I liked about this:
1. Extremely easy to read – the display options were great to allow us to tailor the messaging that was best for my dad.
2. Could be set on a table, instead of hung on the wall. Fiddling with the “off” switch for the alarm can be a bit frustrating, so that might be inconvenient (and lead to dropped clocks) if mounted to the wall. Some of them don’t have the ability to stand upright, but this one does. My grandmother pulled hers off of the wall just trying to read it.
3. Alarms are really, really helpful because they flash specific information. My grandmother didn’t need that – she was past that point – but my dad was looking for a bit more control. Setting custom alarms for him, and being able to add specific directions that made sense to him, was exactly what he needed.
4. Different sounds for different alarms. Since my dad wanted some daily alarms (take your meds!) and some weekly alarms (put out the garbage!) it was really nice to be able to set different kinds of sounds. He likes to joke that the level of annoyance he feels for the rooster that tells him its time to take out the trash has somehow prompted him to remember it each week JUST TO AVOID HAVING TO HEAR IT!
Criticisms
1. We really liked the idea of adding pictures, but that only worked a few of the times we tried to add them. It’s a clunky process to transfer files to an SD card, and then upload the correct file. It simply didn’t work. But this was a “nice to have” not a “need to have.”
2. While the set up was easy on some respects, it was so simplified that it was almost hard to do. I can’t really blame the company for making this easy enough for the less technologically adept, but I nearly had to crawl out of y skin because of the tedious, time-consuming way to enter the information. My kingdom for a quick connection to a laptop for transferring files or typing instructions!
All in all, those were minor annoyances, and it does what it is supposed to do, in the way it’s supposed to do it. It’s made a world of difference for my dad *AND* my mom.

Parents love it, added all the birthdays of the family too, would recommend, only downside it has to be plugged in, but does keep the data you have added if you plug it out.

Bought for my mother a year ago. She can be phobic about technology but she loves this clock – it’s clear, easy to read, and has proved to be reliable. My mother has mid-stage Alzheimer’s but still has reasonable independence, and this clock stabilises her day and week – she navigates by it. And it looks nice!
I had hesitated due to reports of unreliability (certainly on the older models), but ours has given no trouble. We don’t use any of the alarms or programming, so no comments on those.
Once set up it maintains its settings even if unplugged, for any length of time (I tried it for a month before giving it to my mother), though the display is blank when not plugged in. This means it can survive my mother’s tendency to switch things off at night – but I plugged it into the TV extension lead which she never switches off, so the problem hasn’t arisen! It’s worth adjusting the display style and brightness so the clock isn’t obtrusively bright, it can be turned down quite a way and still be readable across the room.

I was under the impression that this clock didn’t have to be plugged in. The power cable is described as a “charging cable” on the box and there is mention of a rechargeable battery. However the battery is just for the device settings. If you pull out the power the device turns off. I needed a device where location could be flexible, this isn’t it.
Other than that the device is fine. Nice big display, very clear. Was surprised that the time is manually set and not wifi.
If you are ok leaving it plugged in it’s probably a really good device.

It’s great for people with dementia. Tells the day, whether it’s morning or night and of course the time.

The clock itself is good looking.
Easy to navigate.
I had to send mine back.
Because the talking clock part of it always used to say the wrong time (it was always say 1 minute on from the actual time and the is no fix for it yet)
Which is a shame because I really liked it.

This clock doesn’t work. It shows wrong data on the screen. I don’t recommend buying it even if the idea behind it may seem nice.

Large font, decent size screen. Bought to keep my elderly parent on track with meds. The screen not only tells them what date and time it is but also what part of the day i.e. afternoon, morning, evening. There is a reminder setting too so alarms can be set to jog memory for medication. I set for morning meds and evening meds – they are alerted by the screen and by an audible alarm which I have set for 1 min (minimum setting). Everyone who visits the house are really impressed with it and a few people have asked where it was ordered from. Brilliant piece of kit – invaluable!

My mom and I got this for my grandma for her recent 86th birthday. She has been so frustrated because of not being able to see well enough to read the calendar on the wall and not knowing what day of the week it is. She has dementia, so sometimes we had to tell her 20 times a day what day it was (you may think I’m exaggerating but i’m so not). She also sometimes would forget or take too many pills because she mixed up her days. The clock is her new favourite thing! Even with low vision, she can see it on the wall about 5 feet away, and she loves knowing what day it is, what time, and the actual date all together. She’s so happy with her present! It’s such as simple thing to use too and I really liked that the set-up was easy to do. Great product! I would highly recommend this to anyone with elderly relatives.

Totally devoid of life. The clock does not power up, screen stays blank. I have tried switching out the usb adapter but no luck. There isn’t even an on/off switch.

Für Demenzkranke nicht zu gebrauchen, da alle Tageszeiten viel zu früh beginnen und in keiner Weise der deutschen Kultur entsprechen. So wird wird z.B. bereits ab Mitternacht “früh morgens” angezeigt und “mittags” von 10-12 Uhr. Ganz fatal ist jedoch die Übersetzung der englischen Tageszeit “afternoon” ins Deutsche mit “abends” – und das bereits ab 12 Uhr mittags !

The alarm function on this clock does what it wants:
– When you set an alarm, you can’t be sure that it actually rings at that time
– An alarm rings at times when you didn’t set an alarm
Both is very annoying. If you can’t rely on the alarm to ring when you need it, that’s a K.O criterium for a digital clock. Similarly: when the alarm rings in the middle of the night and wakes you up even though you never set an alarm for that time, this is unacceptable, too.
How can I send this back and get a refund?
