About

Dementia Distractor

Features
Read full description

The Dementia Distractor allows carers to play pre-recorded sounds via their phone or a bluetooth speaker, in order to help distract their loved one when they get stuck in a repetitive cycle. There are a number of pre-recorded sound clips that are already installed, such as doorbells, phone ringing or simply just the date and time. It is also possible to easily load up custom sound clips, e.g. as answers to repetitive questions, so that the carer can concentrate on caring for loved one rather than having to answer the same question multiple times.
