I've not seen a post before about items people have bought to make life easier for dementia sufferers. And when you start on the road of dementia and the problems it incurs we are new at it. I would like for every one to share anything that they have bought that is helpful and could be helpful to others.
I bought a Flipper TV remote that only has 6 large buttons on it as the ordinary remote was to complicated. It has 6 large buttons with just the few things that are needed. Volume control, change the channel , mute and an on off button. It can be tuned in to the TV and a satellite box together so that when you turn it on it turns them both on and off at the same time and you just have 1 remote instead of 2. It has saved a great deal of stress.
The other thing was we needed a new fridge/ freezer and I purchased one with an in built alarm that starts to sound when the door is left open. I didn't know these were available and our fridge door was constantly being left open.
