Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Exceeded expectations. This was a gift for a loved one experiencing beginnings of memory loss. The person absolutely loves it, and she is so relieved to be able to instantly know the day, date and time. She commented so positively on all of the features after having it for a day, and she especially liked being able to see the words "morning" "afternoon" "evening". From what she said, I would recommend getting a clock with ALL of the information that is displayed on this one. If you think about it, when a person wakes up from an afternoon nap, they may not remember if it is morning or afternoon. And in my experience, some people with memory loss no longer recognize the terms "AM" and "PM". I like the logo (American Lifetime) indicating made in USA. Packaging does not say a thing about memory loss or dementia - it is labeled as a "day clock". There is a well-designed lever that pulls out on the back for setting the clock on a desk, or the clock hangs easily on a wall when lever is folded in. It is well lit, but not hard on the eyes at night. Internal battery holds time and date perfectly when clock is unplugged (so is good for power outages). Cord is nice and long for reaching outlets easily. We prefered the feature of plugging in a clock like this because people with memory loss may have a hard time dealing with changing batteries when they run out of charge, whereas plugging a cord into an outlet is pretty much second nature for most people. Set-up of time and date is very easy. In fact, the time and date came up accurately the minute I plugged the clock in the wall socket, except that I had to just adjust for our time zone - this was very nice. When helping people with memory loss, those of us caring for them need all of the help we can get. I am very grateful for such a well-designed product as this day clock. Clearly, this company took into consideration all of the special needs of those who need a little extra help. This seemed to be the nicest of the day clocks that I looked at on Amazon, and I'll bet it truly is. Very, very pleased with this clock.
