Extraordinary

A great device. It allows me to support two people living with dementia from a distance. I schedule several reminders (it’s time to wash, get dressed, have lunch, go to bed) as well as activities (mass, brain exercises, singing, etc) and appointments. I appreciate it very much, as do the two people who benefit from it.

Genius (Idem clock)

I was responsible, within the family, for finding what would best suit our mother, who has been living with Alzheimer’s disease for a year and a half. She wants to remain independent. But she was not enthusiastic about this tool when I first talked to her about it. I kept coming back to it regularly, always in a positive way, to tell her about Eugeria’s Idem clock. And finally, after a few months of discussion, she agreed. I installed it in her home three weeks ago, and what a joy it has been to see her accept and appreciate this tool. She calls it her biological clock and would not go without it anymore. She likes the fact that it talks to her; it brings life into her day. The messages with photos make her so happy. I also have only good things to say about the team’s effectiveness in answering my questions. Thank you and congratulations for this essential tool.

Really great. My mother adores it and uses it every day.

By Lucie C.

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!

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.
