Why we know this works!
We love this magnetic calendar because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we hear the same questions, what day is it and what are we doing today, repeated all day in homes touched by memory loss. Do calendars really help someone with dementia? Yes, in the earlier stages: a large calendar kept in one consistent spot, like the refrigerator, gives a visual anchor for the day and cuts down on repeated questions. This big 17 by 12 inch dry erase board has a magnetic back, wipes clean to start each month fresh, and pairs well with an atomic clock. We especially love using it to schedule fun things to look forward to doing together, not just appointments.
It is especially helpful in early to middle stage dementia and for care partners building a predictable routine. It is not suitable for all stages of dementia; if a full month of writing overwhelms your loved one, a simpler aid like the Day Clock or The Familiar Space Room Signs is a better fit.
