The Kind Reminder is a simple device that plays a comforting message recorded in the familiar voice of a caregiver, friend, or family member. It is especially helpful for those with early- to mid-stage Alzheimer’s or age-related memory loss.A typical message might be “Hi, Mom. Today is Tuesday, you have had a good breakfast and taken all of your medication. Mary is here with you, and I will be back this afternoon.” A message like this, or a simple “I love you, Mom”, played on demand, can calm and reassure someone who is often anxious and confused. The Kind Reminder was created by the daughter of someone who is an Alzheimer’s patient. It is a recorder specifically designed for people with dementia. It may be worn as a pendant or placed on a nearby table or counter. It is compact, lightweight, and easy to operate - just press the one big visible button to hear a caring message. Caregivers can change messages easily and often. They can record messages that anticipate the frustrating, repetitive questions often asked by Alzheimer’s patients. This can help reduce caregiver stress. The Kind Reminder can also comfort and support patients in hospitals and nursing facilities. A recorded personal message from a friend or family member is especially helpful where the primary language of the patient does not match the language of the health care providers. Kind Reminder Features: Relieves caregiver frustration - reduces the need for answering frequently-asked questions. Soothes anxiety - provides a source of comforting information to persons with short-term memory loss and to hospital/nursing facility patients. Listener hears, on demand, a familiar voice that reminds or reassures. Easily accessible, unlikely to be misplaced when worn as a pendant. Large “Play” button is the only accessible movable part on the Kind Reminder. Kind Reminder Specifications: Recording time: 1 - 2 minutes Weight: 1.4oz Dimensions: W 2.25″ H 3.0″ D .5″ Battery: 1 AAA (Not provided)
