Hi

You can read more about dementia clocks here - https://ukcareguide.co.uk/dementia-clock

I'm Rose, and in this video I am going to talk to you about the benefits of a dementia clock.

Firstly, It is important that patients living with dementia or Alzheimer’s have structure, routine and predictability in their lives. This is because it helps give them some comfort and security as they go about daily life.

However, when they lose the ability to recognise the time of day, the day of the week or even whether it is day or night, they can panic and feel anxious.

This is why there are clocks that have been designed specifically for alzheimers and dementia patients. The aim of these clocks is to try and help return that sense of structure so that they can regain some of what they have lost.

It also benefits those that are caring for the person with dementia, as they no longer need to keep repeating the day or time over and over again.

Dementia clocks themselves are clocks for people with dementia, Alzheimer’s or those that are living with some form of memory loss.
As dementia progresses, time-telling skills usually decline and are often lost completely. This could lead a person with dementia to become even more confused, agitated and anxious.

This is why the dementia clocks are so useful as they can help the person keep track of the current time and date, and day of the week.

The clocks usually have a traditional, easy-to-read display on a round face, and clearly show whether it is night or day. Some also include the day, date and year.

By placing large numbered Dementia Day Clocks around the house they will be able to see the time clearly, whether its morning, afternoon or evening and the day and month.

This could help ease the worry of missing an appointment, meal time or even their favourite TV programme.

It is also useful to have clocks that indicate day and night during times of the year when light changes earlier or later than usual.
Those in the earlier stages of dementia may still be able to read a clock face, but need one that is clearly marked with all the numbers, as well as the day, month, and year.

Digital calendar day and date clocks could therefore be useful as they clearly show whether it is am or pm as well as the time and date, month and year.

Some also have a digital alarm clock to help ensure that any medication is taken.

A person in the mid and later stages of dementia may struggle to read a clock face. It would then be better to choose a simple clock that states the day and what part of the day – morning, afternoon, evening and night – they’re in.

Bear in mind that people react differently to different products. What might suit one person might not suit another.

For example, whilst one person may find it useful to have a recorded message reminding them to take their medication, others may find it confusing. It is important to choose a product that suits the individual and their situation.

Ok, that is all I was going to cover about dementia clocks. Please do have a look at our site as we have highlighted what we think the best clocks are.
