American Lifetime Dementia Clock, Large Digital Clock for Seniors, Alzheimer's (White, 8 inch)

Set up is very simple with the buttons on the back and the fold out stand is satisfactory and quite sturdy. It comes with pre-installed backup batteries which means it won't lose its settings if its disconnected (it won't display anything without mains power though). It’s quite weighty so doesn't slide about much and it feels substantial and well made. The display is bright and clear with no glare and is smooth matte so doesn't reflect overhead lights or sunlight. It’s easy to read at distance and there is no discernible flicker or pixilation. It self-adjusts the brightness of the display depending on the time of day but is still clearly readable. It's designed for persons with a visual impairment but obviously its usefulness to them will depend on the nature of the impairment. It’s also very suitable for anyone who just wants a useful clock / calendar. It’s worth pointing out that the time and date will not auto-set (it has no means of doing this) and it doesn't support Daylight Savings Time which is a shame given that this is a premium item. One other niggle is the manufacturer logo on the front is a bit of an eyesore. Even with these slight negatives, I have no hesitation in recommending this device.

I bought this clock for my mother, who is succumbing to dementia and is now in residential care. I realised that without a concise summary of day, date, morning/afternoon/evening that she has no frame of reference for time or date. I particularly like the clarity of this clock's display, and the fact that there are options for date display order, as well as 12/24 hour time. I think the quality is excellent, and the fact that the display auto-dims during twilight hours is a thoughtful touch. Prior to installing it in my mum's room I set it up on my own desk and found the display curiously comforting in a world where every electronic device displays the time and date in mere numbers! This is a well designed and well made item, simple to set up intuitively using the on-screen menus, and that does its job quietly and efficiently.

We bought this clock to help an aging relative keep track of time. As she has trouble remembering what day it is as well as the date, this clock with its large display of both, together with the time period (morning, afternoon etc) seemed ideal. When it arrived the day after we ordered it (even though we had not specified superfast delivery) it worked right out of the box showing the correct day, date and time with no need for any setting up. This suggests that the internal battery will power the clock's settings for quite a while and certainly longer than a temporary power cut. The only minor downside seems to be that the instructions say clock does not automatically change time for daylight saving, so it will need to be manually reset twice a year. No different to any other clock there so its not a problem. Because we were so impressed by our purchase and the associated customer service, and importantly, as the lady in question likes the clock a lot we have ordered another one for her bedroom as well which is due to be delivered today.

Smashing clock will be perfect for my mum to keep track of days. Unimpressed with packaging - clock was sent out in its original box with the label stuck on the back, box could have been easily opened there was no tape closing the box itself. luckily was not damaged in the post but as this is a present I have taken ages trying to remove the label to make the box look better for wrapping up. Really cheapskate packaging hence the loss of a star in the review. Please use a covering bag to save the box in future!!

The clock is so simple to set up - simply plug in and go and the display pops up in a few seconds. It came with a UK plug fitted which was brilliant. When selecting this clock it appeared to have the clearest, least fussy display and my 88 year old Mum is so impressed that she can read the face from several yards away. We haven't experimented with the alarms to act as medication reminders as yet but may have to do this in future. We told Mum this was a special present - an easy to see digital calender . There was nothing in the box saying 'old age' or 'dementia' as I checked before giving it to her. We hope this clock will be a subtle confidence-booster and help Mum to stay independent.

[Newest Version] Day Clock - Extra Large Impaired Vision Digital Clock with Battery Backup & 5 Alarm Options

Really impressed with everything. Quick delivery , polite emails from the company it came from and the difference it has made to our lives well worth the price. I was looking for something to help my partner , who has vascular dementia , gain a bit more control over their day to day life. What day is it ,when is an event going to happen etc were questions being asked continuously. The clear face of the clock , showing the day , time of day, time and date is in her line of vision and not only can she see what day it is it has helped with working out what is coming up. Being able to see the time has also made her more active as she just used to sit saying there was plenty of time before she did anything. Now she can see time moving faster than she thought it was. I will set the alarms for medication eventually. I do not think I really appreciated how much her loss of the sense of time etc affected her as she is now far happier being able to see it for herself. I will move it into the bedroom or buy another one when the time comes for dealing with upsets during the night and hope it helps there too.

...having paid £33.88 for this clock back in June I didn't unpack it immediately due to some changes being made in my wife's bedroom. This has turned out to be a completely disastrous waste of money and a source of DISTRESS to my wife. I bought it solely to HELP my wife who has Alzheimers/Mixed Dementia and for a few weeks it seemed OK. Then I began to notice that it forgot the dimmer settings - which upset my wife who likes a dark bedroom and the lowest setting was OK but the brightest setting was not. Then the 'time' display began to fail and showed completely random numbers completely unrelated to the actual time. This has been a disruptive experience for my wife and such products should never be sold to people with dementia - this causes more DISTRESS than it solves. It is now unplugged and - along with other reviewers - I am disgusted that this product is not subjected to better quality control. It is after all sold under the guise of being fully guaranteed and for use in various medical circumstances/needs. Sadly I do not recommend this product and am surprised that Amazon actually represents such expensive and yet shoddy products targeted towards Dementia sufferers. My advice - avoid this particular product.

This came promptly and very nicely packed and looks very well made. So far we've only had it a few days but it's working perfectly, so we're very pleased with it. We did know this before we ordered it, so I'm not complaining: however I'd say there's one improvement which I would suggest the manufacturers might consider for a future model, and that would be to program it to automatically correct for the changes between Winter Time and Summer Time. We've bought it for my Mum-in-Law whose memory is failing, but she lives 170 miles from us, so we'll have to make sure someone visits her on the changeover days and resets the clock. I know that summer-time changes can vary a little between countries but this could be programmed into it by including a setting for the relevant country. Even my very basic central-heating timer copes with the switch-over so it can't be difficult to incorporate. Having said that, I'm not aware that any of the similar clocks made by other manufacturers have included this facility as yet. So I'm still very pleased with it and have given it 5 stars.

Bonjour mon horloge et en panne comment vous la renvoyer

Ich hatte das Produkt bestellt für meine Oma, sie ist 91 und leicht dement, aber inbesondere bringt sie Tage und Zeiten durcheinander. Der Artikel kam dank Versand durch Amazon gewohnt schnell an. Die Verpackung wirkt hochwertig, durch genügend Polsterung kam die Uhr unfallfrei an. Auspacken, Stecker rein und los gehts. Die Einstellungen sind sehr einfach machbar. Grundprinzip: einmal auf den Menü Knopf auf der Rückseite des Gerätes drücken und mit "hoch"/"runter" durch die verschiedenen Einstellungen scrollen und mit "rechts"/"links" die Werte entsprechend einstellen. Standardmäßig war bei mir Englisch eingestellt, das war aber sehr einfach auf deutsch umstellbar. Die Display ist ausreichend groß und auch für schlechte Augen sehr gut lesbar. Man kann das Display durch eine Timer-Dimmfunktion für einen definierbaren Zeitraum abdunkeln. Ideal, falls die Ihr auf dem Nachttisch steht. Weiterhin können verschiedene Termine / Erinnerungen wie Medizin- oder Essenseinnahme programmiert werden. Zur gewünschten Zeit ertönt ein Alarm mit der entsprechenden Meldung. Eine weitere gute Hilfe für vergessliche Menschen. Es sei noch angemerkt, dass der Verkäufer sich sehr um seine Kunden kümmert: In der Verpackung lag ein Feedback Zettel bei, ebenso wurde mehrfach bezüglich der Zufriedenheit nachgefragt. Dieser E-Mail Service lief in deutscher Sprache. Insgesamt ein prima Hilfsmittel für meine Oma im täglichen Leben.

Ho acquistato la versione a 12". Il prodotto è in plastica bianca e tutto sommato si presenta bene ed assolve egregiamente al compito. Il display lcd, ed i caratteri sono enormi e si presta bene ad essere usato anche a parete. Il problema più grosso è che non c'è alcuna opzione per regolare la retroilluminazione risultando estremamente luminoso, anche con l'attenuazione notturna attiva. A livello software poteva essere fatto un pò di sforzo e permettere un po di regolazione dei colori dei caratteri. L'alimentatore switching, allegato è in versione inglese senza connettore intercambiabile, e quindi dovrete acquistarne uno oppure comperare un adattatore uk-eu. La cornice è molto ampia (circa 2cm per lato). Sarebbe stata più elegante se fosse stata più piccola. A mio modesto parere, il prezzo è un pò sopravalutato. *** UPDATE 02.04.2020 *** L'orologio perde di precisione. Va avanti di 1 minuto ogni 15gg circa, il che mi costringe a correggere l'ora. Chiederò un intervento in garanzia.
