Memory calendar 2025

My 85 year old mother suffered a stroke. Whilst her memory is good she has frequent bouts of 'delirium' and so has problems keeping track of day, month etc in her confusion. This item has been worth its weight in gold. She knows she must turn the page every day and is able to know what day and date it is and she did ssy she fooled the doctors because of it! We also write notes so she knows who's visiting and any appointments etc.

This is brilliant for dementia sufferers

Wasn't sure if my husband would utilise this because of his Alzheimias but thought it was worth a try. I am pleased to say that it has been really useful. Every morning when he gets up he turns the day over. I also put in any appointments or things that we will be doing and he does take notice of them and asks about them. I am glad I tried it as it has been very useful and it is good to see him utilising it so I would recommend it to anyone caring for a loved one with Alzheimias.

This is the 2nd year I have purchased one of these for my Mum. She loves the fact she can turn the page each day and check for any notes/important alerts but also have a clear reminder of the day/date throughout the day. She doesn't do 'technology' and feels this helps her maintain autonomy as would often feel consused by busy week to week calendars etc. I've written important notes in each day so she has a daily reminder.

This is the second year I’ve bought this for my Dad who has Alzheimer’s & vascular dementia. He enjoys writing on it every day as to what is going to be happening. Plenty of space for him to write. As it stands upright it’s sits on the table right next to him so he can glance at it all the time.

Had this last year . , this is a repeat

These calendars are really useful for writting down everything for that day that the Person with dementia will be doing. When I get the repeat questions....where are we going tomorrow what time are we going tomorrow etc. I refer my Husband to his Calendar. There will still be questions but not so many. Also when I go out I write where I have gone and what time I will be back. He is able to tell the time fortunately. The one thing that can be a problem is if he turns it round as on the other side is a date that has gone with all the writing still there and makes it very confusing. Maybe I should tear the pages out to prevent this happening but not sure that it would stand up on its own

So much smaller than I thought. Not great value for money. I would have returned it if the money wasn’t going to Alzheimer’s society
