GUEST POST: Calendar Clock assists caregivers and people with dementia with their daily schedule. This reduces disorientation in time and the frustration it can cause. Additionally, it offers monitoring capabilities, via its appointments feature and video calling. This all provides a sense of security for everyone, both caregiver and care-receiver. It is a free application co-created by many real-world users.
PREVENTION & THERAPY INFOMERCIAL: Research shows that for every 10 decibels of hearing loss, the risk of developing dementia increases. Learn how the right hearing aids can lower your risk.

It also provides laughter, when we realize one of us can't carry a tune, lol. I have laughed a lot with my family when we sing together because eventually I can't resist the temptation to sing in opera or like a rock star. I'm a bit of a ham! Thanks for the great information. I have spent many hours on my smart phone sharing music with my clients. I ask them to give me a song and then I play it. They are amazed every time.
