SSYA Digital Calendar Alarm Clock - Dementia Clocks for Seniors, Non-Abbreviated Memory Loss Clock with Date and Time for Elderly (White)

My mom has difficulty recalling what month/day of week/time of day (morning, afternoon, evening, night) due to advancing dementia. She also has advanced AMD, so her vision is limited and has difficulty reading black on white. I purchased this clock as it had the features I needed to make my mom's life a bit easier. The clock (see pictures) I programmed to be in a multi-color format (day blue, month/day/year in a red/orange and, although the time is in black/white, the font is large enough for her to discern the time. I think the color banners I just mentioned above/below help too. The clock is very easy to set up, the menu buttons are on the back (see pic). I like that it has a daylight savings time setting, so it automatically changes (it can be disabled). The clock has an alarm feature, but this is too advanced for my mom, so I have not used it, but it seems straightforward enough for someone who can. It also has a slot for an SD card so it can function as a digital photo frame. I've not used this feature. All functions and features are clearly explained/outlined in the guide included with the clock. The clock has helped and I like the clock so much that I purchased two more (total of three) and have one in the kitchen, living room and her bedroom. The photos in my review are in sequence - the box before opening all the way through the clock on the top of her microwave. It has a peg stand (see pic) and while it does the job, I've noticed that when she struggles with the microwave door, she has a tendency to knock it over, so I had to move it. Under normal conditions - setting on a shelf, etc. the stand is no issue. I'd recommend the clock for any person who has vision or other challenges with day/date/time of day. As an aside, it also has a small weather indicator to the right of the time, but it is too small for my mom to see. Two enhancements I'd like 1) the ability to make the weather indicator larger and 2) a more robust stand. The clock including the frame measures (metric conversions are appx.) 7.75 inches (19.7cm) (H) x 5.5 inches (14cm) (L), the screens diagonal measurement is 6.5 inches (16.5cm), and the screen itself measures 5.75 (14.6cm) (H) x 3.25 (8.25cm) (L). Where H=height and L=length. I hope this review helps - and if you are a caregiver, please remember to take time to recharge by taking some time for yourself.

love this clock so much i want one for myself but i got this for my brother who is having alot of memory issues and eyesight issues. it is unreal how much this clock is helping him, put it on his dresser so its the first thing he sees when he wakes up.i have it in black and white and the letters and numbers are big and so easy to see. and it is very bright, almost like a night light. and it also stops him from asking me is it day or night or what day or the week it is.very pleased with this clock

WONDERFUL!! Placed in the living space of elders (91 & 85) -They like reading the complete calendar - day of the week, date , time

This is a great product for my elderly mother, who has dimentia plus can't see like she used to. Easy to read with several settings to choose from concerning days, dates, and times.

This clock is an excellent way to help the elderly know the day and time. I purchased for my 90 yr old Dad and 83 yr old Mom. They LOVE IT! It was easy to set up and is very easy to read. It is accurate and looks great in their den next to their tv. I caught it on sale which made it an even greater value for the money. My only wish is that the cord to plug it in was 10 feet long instead of almost 5. This would have given me the option to hang it on the wall.

This is pretty great. I got it for my folks, one of whom has short-term memory problems. When ordering it, i thought it was a little pricy but has been well worth it. Also, when it first arrived, it was smaller than I expected and was afraid it was too small but both parents can see/read it well. I would highly recommend this for aging parents, those with dementia, and for anyone that loses track of what day it is.

It is smaller than I expected. Too many additional what I will never use, but it is ok to use.

This is a fabulous piece for those with Alzheimer’s or memory issues. Large fonts, easy to read and easy to program. A godsend.Only drawback? Could use a built-in stand. Minor detail, however.
