[quote=Anonymous]My mother has recently been diagnosed with dementia and I am trying to find any helpful gadgets, devices, etc. that would make her life and my life easier. She lives in an independent/assisted living place in a 1 bedroom apartment. She goes down to the restaurant/dining room  to get all her meals so she no longer has to cook.

A couple of years ago I bought this clock that has the day of the week, the time and the date in bog, bold letters, which has been helpful. I put one in her living room and one in her bedroom.

There might be cheaper brands now.

I just bought her this medicine dispenser that instead of being weekly has 31 removable plastic pill containers

I fill the 31 containers the first if the month then go every 2-3 days and take her those days worth if medication. She takes one then I leave the medication in the same place and call her the next night or two nights in the evening and remind her to take medication. I gave her her medication and tell her to set down phone and take it while I am still on the line.

Anyone have other helpful things for seniors?[/quote]
