SINOIDEAS Calendar Memory Loss Day Clock with Digital Photo Frame, Extra Large Non-Abbreviated Day & Month, 8 Inch White

Perfect for dementia/memory problems. Helps to keep track of the day, date and time accurately. A wall calendar is great, but it doesn’t tell you what the date is so this is a brilliant addition. Nice clear screen. We have set it up with the red, blue and white, because it seemed clearer as time/day/date are highlighted separately. Plugs in so no worrying about batteries. I did set it up and switch it off for several minutes and it was correct when I switched it back on, so hopefully it will reset accurately if it is switched off accidentally or their is a power cut. It was easy to set up, clear instructions. The medication alarms are great, not using it as carers take care of medication, but it’s a great idea. Very happy with it, and it will prove to be very valuable piece of equipment for this dementia patient.

Although this clock was very good and was what I was looking for it said it that it was battery operated which it wasn’t . I couldn’t use it as a plug in.

So far so good, easy to set up, lots of additional features and a very clear screen with brightness adjustment, hopefully it won’t suddenly stop working like some other reviews have said…..all packaging kept just incase!!

My requirement was to find a clock that clearly and easily displayed the current day of the week as text. All the solutions seemed to be quite expensive, so I at first tried a cheaper solution with the  TRIXES LCD clock calendar . This was adequate but not good enough, so I bought this. It cost more than I wanted to pay but it does the job well and I am very happy with it. However, my satisfaction with this clock is overshadowed by its eventual recipient, who could not praise it highly enough.This clock is supplied with a mains connector. The mains lead goes into the hole at the bottom left-hand-side (when looking at the back). This is not mentioned in the User Instructions leaflet supplied (see Comment for a transcription). What is also not explained in the User Instructions is that at the back there is a hinged metal rod covered in a plastic moulding flush with the surface. Below it is a small recessed area. Put your finger into the recessed area and lift the moulding upwards for about a centimetre. Don't force it - it should rise naturally. Then twist it anti-clockwise and upwards. This is the stand to keep the clock upright. It seems flimsy, but the device itself is not heavy and I had no problems standing the clock up. When I powered on for the first time I was surprised that the date and time were correct and did not need adjustment. If you do need to make an adjustment, for example to change from the 24 hr clock to the 12 hr clock, note that the process is started by pressing the Menu button at the back. Then follow the instructions in the User Instructions leaflet.The display has three differently-sized sections. At the top is day of the week (e.g. Monday). In the middle is the time at about 1½ times the size of the day of the week. At the bottom is the date (e.g. 28, June 2015) at about ½ of the size of the day of the week. I would have preferred the date at the bottom to have been a little larger and the time a little smaller.This clock does not have an alarm setting (a question asked on Amazon Answers).

Very impressed initially. Bought for a relative with dementia. Set up was easy and it has a very clear display.Disappointed it is only a plug/mains. Battery operated would have been so much easier for us. Very disappointedthat after approx. 3 months of use some of the numbers go missing, only to return when the time changes.

Absolutely brilliant !! perfect for elderly people and those with things like dementia.MBought for my Mum, aged 93, now with the early stages of dementia. She now knows the day, time (am or pm) date month and even the year.Just plug in, and it will come up with all the current info. just had to set 12 or 24 hr clock, easy !! also crystal clear.Worth every penny, DON`T THINK ABOUT, GET IT ....Jeff

Mum has dementia and forgets what day it is, I got this clock for her bedside table, it wakes her and she immediately knows what day and time it is. She’s always saying how much she loves it and how brilliant it is.

This is very clear and although quite large due to the colour and design does not appear so in the room. Bought it for my mum and she is finding it easy to see, read and use so a successful purchase. It does not get a 5* as it does seem quite expensive for what it displays.
