Hello
My mum has been diagnosed with Vascular Dementia and an issue that has come to a head is the trouble telling time. Mum lives alone since my Dad passed away over a year ago. We are trying to keep mum in her own home for as long as possible, as advised. We have found gadgets for pill dispensing but the new problem is telling the time. Mum wonders around the house day and night and if unsure of the time will ring me or my brother. This can be the middle of the night, which we try and re-assure her is no trouble. I have placed large digital clocks around and have brought a talking watch and and talking pyramid but she doesn't look at any of these. Has anyone got any other ideas I could try please.
