The programmed reminder will show on screen with an alarm that will sound for 50 seconds at the designated time and then turn off on its own, or you can turn it off by simply pressing any button on the back of the clock.

The reminder options are:

  • NO MESSAGE (just sound) or your choice of a text alert on screen accompanied by an alarm sound such as:
  • TIME FOR YOUR MEDICATION,
  • MORNING MEDICATION TIME,
  • AFTERNOON MEDICATION TIME,
  • EVENING MEDICATION TIME,
  • NIGHT MEDICATION TIME,
  • TIME FOR BREAKFAST,
  • TIME FOR LUNCH,
  • TIME FOR DINNER,
  • TIME TO GET DRESSED,
  • TIME TO SHOWER,
  • CHECK YOUR DIARY,
  • DRINK SOME WATER,
  • TIME TO GO TO BED or
  • TIME FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT

You can set the frequency of your reminders to go off on a recurring basis. This can be OFF, ONCE, EVERYDAY, MON-FRI or WEEKENDS. The frequency applies to all reminders excluding the TIME FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT reminder as it is calender date/time based.

These alarms help to assist carers with the most common frustrations for people living Alzheimer's Disease & Dementia, as well as allow the person to live more independently and most importantly with dignity. This functionality is not only useful for people living with Dementia but also has proven useful for the Aspect, visually impaired and people living with a disability.
