Disorientation can lead to repeating or neglecting tasks, leading to feelings of anxiety for individuals with dementia and their loved ones. Dementia clocks provide clear visual cues about the time, day, and date, which helps with orientation and daily structure.
Help your loved one stay on track with reminders for medication, appointments and everyday tasks, sent remotely through the Companion App.
Share messages, updates and family photos straight to the clock. Unlimited family members and caregivers are able to connect through the free Companion App, wherever they are, helping your loved one feel reassured and supported throughout the day.
Stay close with simple video calls from the Companion App, with Automatic Connection offering extra reassurance if your loved one doesn't answer. Premium subscription required (£14 / $19 a month).
Attach the clock to its stand, plug it in and switch it on.
Connect the clock to Wi-Fi at no extra cost. If Wi-Fi isn't available, an optional Idem mobile data plan is available.

Add reminders, appointments, messages, notes and photos from the app, then update them whenever you need to, wherever you are.
