I use this for my mom to remind her about mealtimes. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fashmel.alzclock&hl=en I put it on a cheap android tablet that is plugged in and always on. It doesn't do alarms, though. You might play around with some other apps and see if they suit you better.
Vent thread. I love it.
Mom's currently in independent living with her husband, but apparently she's been leaving her apt very early in the morning and wandering the halls. I realized at her last doc appt that she doesn't even know what decade we're in. I repurposed an old cheap android tablet to be a dementia clock and programmed in mealtimes and recurring activities. I hope it helps. Free app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fashmel.alzclock
The facility people want me to move her to memory care but she says she is "not interested; I'll just move back to [childhood town she hasn't visited since her parents died 15 years ago]!" I dunno what I'm going to do with that situation. Plus we can't really afford one parent in memory care and one in assisted living.
Oh yeah, one of the other ladies saw us checking out memory care and was like "what were you doing on the OTHER SIDE? They don't want to put you THERE, do they?! You don't need to go over there, have you seen the people there?! I was across the street (assisted living) and it was TERRIBLE." Thanks, Ms. Pat. -_-
Visiting this weekend. I usually crash on their couch but apparently they're both dealing with some stomach stuff (bathroom is in their LR). Fingers crossed. There is a hotel nearby if it comes down to it.
