People with AD Got Obsessed with Time
People who
have Alzheimer ’s disease usually lose track of time and with that, most of
them become too obsessed with the time that they keep on asking what time is it
or they usually go and check the clock. This is one of the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. Sometimes, they become too irritated because they are
thinking about something they forget to do. They are angry of themselves why
they forget the time and it makes them harder to deal with.
We must
understand that these people are going through a phase of their life where they
no longer understand themselves and they become frustrated and disappointed.
They become disoriented and they don’t know what to do. There are times when
they remember something that needs to be done and with that they keep on checking the clock.
There are
also some scenarios when they can no longer tell if it is night time or
daylight. They can be very active at night thinking that it is morning and they
have to do their chores. You need to remind them all the time that it isn't and as a result you become restless and frustrated as well.
Hiding the
clock from them wouldn't stop them from bothering you. It is better to have a
clock in the place where they can always see it. It should be visible so they
can easily notice it. The clock should also be large and clear so they can read
the time.
One of
Relink Device best feature is it helps them to be time aware. There is a voice
prompt that will tell them the current time and the day. Relink Device is still
in progress and evolves overtime with consideration to all the feedback and
comment received from the people who are taking care of their love ones who have
the disease.
Now, Relink
Device has a clock in digital and analogue form so you can have choices. This
device also indicates the current day and date. Upon looking at the clock, they
will become aware of the time, day and calendar date. It will help them to
think clearly and to think the best activity for the day. It also helps them to know what to expect and it will avoid some confusion on them.
This is also
helpful especially if there is a holiday like Christmas season. They will not
get confused by the people who come and go and with all the songs and the décor.
By just looking at their clock they know what is happening and why it is
happening.
As
mentioned, people with Alzheimer’s can’t tell if it is daylight or night time
so they usually get up at night and start their day. With this, Relink adds
night and day indicator at the right side of the clock so the next time they
wake up in the middle of the night and check their clock, they will be aware
that it is still bedtime and so they will go back to sleep.
Getting
obsessed with time is only one of their unusual behaviors so get the best tool
you can have to resolve the issue and you can both move forward.
Relink Device helps people with Alzheimer’s disease
fight loneliness and secure that the family member’s presence is felt even when
they are not in the area.
