Dementia

[learning2me]

Hi,

Can anyone involved with caring for someone with dementia help please?

My FIL loses track of what day it is, so we are looking for a battery operated calendar without too much information on it (not temperature etc) Just need day, date and month. Not too big, but nice and clear.

Have done a lot of searching and found some perfect ones, but the prices are just ridiculous - especially those recommended by Dementia care or Alzheimers Society.

Looking at anything from £80 - £200.

Off out now as it is OH's birthday, but will check back later. All help appreciated.

Sorry Duck, just got back from FILs so missed it.

Looks good if I can find one at a reasonable price.

Can't believe nobody makes a perpetual flip calendar.

It went for £51 - £42 + £9 postage.  Seven bidders.  BUT - it didn't sell the first time - so worth keeping a lookout.

Hi

I saw this on the big river, don't know if it's any help it costs £71.40 ouch!

Can't put a link but just search:

Desktop 'Perpetual Calendar' Clock - G236

I tried to post a pic, but it's tiny. This shows day/date/month and has a clock face, but not complicated at all, but is battery operated.

Thanks - just waht I'm hoping to find, but at a better price hopefully!.

Have already had to replace all bedding, t towels, towels, cleaning cloths, microwave etc etc so have spent lots!

Hi Learning

I've found another one on the big river. (as I'd search earlier, this appeared somewhere above or beside  when browsing).

Search for

Premier Housewares 9 x 19 x 6 cm Oblong Flip Alarm Clock, White 

and it's only £8.29! It only shows day/date and a clock. Hope this one will help.

Sorry, just noticed in the reviews that the date and day has to be advanced manually.

[learning2me]

Yes I saw that one and got excited too!

Thanks for looking.

Just wanted to update for everyone who was kind enough to help in my search. 

Eventually found this in Maplins and it works a treat!
