Day Clock or Ward Clock?

Developed by Designability, the DayClock has been designed to help people living with Dementia or Alzheimer’s. The DayClock features a simple and clear display showing the time of day as either morning, afternoon, evening or night, and is ideal for people living with dementia as they can lose the ability to distinguish between day or night. The DayClock can also assist primary carers by ensuring a daily routine can be maintained.

The DayClock is ideal for use around a home, on a bedside table or a kitchen worktop.

The Ward Orientation Clock is an adaption to our award winning DayClock. The large screen is more visible than a standard size day/date clocks and provides a constant and reassuring source of information on the time of day, location and the orientation information is automatically up to date, so no staff input is needed (unlike more basic calendar signage boards). The screen can also assist staff by answering and reinforcing questions like ‘where am I?’ and ‘what time is it?’.

The Ward Orientation Clock is ideal for use in communal areas such as hospital wards, day rooms and nursing homes and has already been used by multiple NHS Trust Wards across the UK.

Sunday Times features Day Clock in association with Unforgettable.org

How the Day Clock can help

The Dementia Day Clock is aimed at helping people living with dementia by simply and clearly displaying the time of day as morning, afternoon, evening or night. People living with dementia can lose the ability to recognise what the time is and even whether it is day or night. This can cause many challenges for them and for their primary carers. The Day Clock can significantly help people with dementia maintain their daily routine and reduce anxiety about the time of day and them missing key events.

The Day Clocks’ clear and simple display of “Now it’s Monday Morning” was developed by the Bath Institute of Medical Engineers over in the United Kingdom who worked with Occupational Therapists and Carers to develop the concept. The aim of the Day Clock is to help people with dementia to be able to link the time of day to their daily routine.
