A big wow for this great discovery!

A great communication tool that lets us conveniently send reminders, messages or photos to our mother. Ultra-easy to use on both sides, it simplifies our lives, especially when we live far away!

By Manon Champagne

Great!

We bought this clock-calendar for our 86-year-old mother, who has a problem with her short-term memory. It helps her in her daily life by reminding her of her meal times in the dining room of her home, the time of her cares, her hairdresser appointments, her TV shows, and all of this is programmable remotely with a cell phone or tablet. We should have bought this item long before, as it would have made our daily lives easier and saved us a lot of phone calls. A little pricey, but well worth it.

Excellent

It's an excellent product, helping to communicate with the person, to plan appointments and activities, and even to start taking medication. It's a great tool! We can't live without it!

Great way to send notes and messages to my mother. Easy to use.

By Hélène

Very useful!

My 90-year-old mother-in-law is delighted. She has easy access to the main information she needs on a daily basis. Very easy to use. Consulting and filling in her paper diary had become difficult for her. Now, we do it for her by entering all the important events, not forgetting to send her the little love notes she so appreciates.
