Any recommendations for an alarm clock that I can put in my dad's assisted living room, and that I can change the time and alarm setting, and then he doesnt need to do anything? With dementia he has lost ability to remember how to change the settings.
Since your Dad is living in Assisted Living, the Staff will make sure he is awake for breakfast.
Or has he given up ?
I hope you didn’t bring up the subject at all.
If he forgot about it don’t bring it up . And don’t move the clock . If he’s quiet about it , leave it there .,
If he’s not complaining about a clock anymore it’s HIS money well spent and a win !!!
My mother drove me crazy about her microwave from home and TV dinners . I cut the cord and brought the microwave in , knowing she would never use it .
Since I cut the cord it could not be used .
She had TV dinners in her little dorm fridge/freezer as well that she never took out . But I would not dare remove these things from the room . She would have noticed .
It just made her feel better having these things “ in case she didn’t like the meals”
in AL .
I have no experience to say any are good or bad . Maybe others will .
