This has been advertised as the "Best Caregiver's Tool" for occupying the attention of those with Alzheimer's Disease. Anyone have this experience?

Not that I know off. However it does show that the doll is much smarter than the real thing. What's nice about the doll isthat it doesn't need a teleprompter.

Yes. The parrot is lovely and I, the caregiver, have started using it to entertain my wife, starting with waking her up in the morning with 'Good morning' and 'I love you'. The caregiver has to find words to engage the cared for through the parrot.

I saw a video on you tube showing the interaction between Pete and an elderly.lady. We bought ours for our parrot and he loves it. When we told my 90 year old mother in law about it she was determined to get one too. So we went ahead and ordered it for her. She loves showing it off to family and friends and let's people listen to Pete by phone. She is tickled with her little parrot. She is by far not demented, but I believe the interaction would be great for an elderly with Alzheimer's. It is inexpensive enough to at least give it a try. Good luck!

It does repeat what you say immediately after you say it. So this means it can do a short phrase or sentence of a few words. Ex.: "Polly want a cracker". I have not tried it with someone with Alzheimer's.

My husband also has dementia and is able to use the chair well. It is a pretty good chair and reasonably comfortable. My husband likes it pretty well.

I was a skeptic, but I swear by it now. It's certainly no cure for SAD, but it does give some temporary relief. I would advise against using it all day, however; I found it makes me agitated if I have it on for more than 30 minutes at a time.

Absolutely. We got one for our mother who had moderate dementia and she LOVED it. It's the perfect size to hold, and the buttons are big enough that she could repeat a song or move on to the next one without any problem. We were able to fit her entire music collection on it. The best part was that it only had her music on it - there was no way she would have to listen to music she didn't like.

Beats me. I took it for my neuropathy, which it was supposed to cure or substantially alleviate. Did nothing for me. I thought it was a big rip-off.

you could use it just as well, the waterproof is only on the top side but so far I find it works well with a dementia spouse. It does not make a noise and seems comfortable enough.

I think so. To be honest i never use it anymore, I found something I like much better and that is much more effective. Also, it can be uncomfortable at times. Good luck!

Irmina,Sorry, I can't help. I bought this as a gift for someone and, have had no reports on it. The recipient lives in another town and is a senior citizen. I set it up in his voice recorder and have not talked with him in over a month.

When my dad was in the late middle stages of Alzheimer's he liked to do puzzles and Q-Bitz uses some of the same thinking processes as the brain uses to do puzzles. I think she may like doing this by herself and not part of a game. There are some very easy ones that you could start with.

Hi Mary Ann..... I purchased this product for my mom last year for her use while being in a nursing home post stroke, the staff there loved the efficacy of the product, it was especially helpfull for my mom's circulation. I didn't have need of support in the use of the product so I can't respond to that concern. If I had purchased a bed with the same features, then it would have cost $2400.00. Poarch Sledd

This is a great unit!!!! My mom's issuse is dementia. This helps by not letting her overdose herself. It is locked with a key so my mom can not open it. (It does comes with two keys) The unit only dispenses meds she can access at the correct time. I'd you have any other questions feel free to ask.

I have not used it, but my wife thinks it is great. She has US social security disabled. She has loss of strength and feeling in her hands.

According to an ad in my February Guidepost magazine, the developer was Dr. Meir Shinitzky, recipient of the J.F. Kennedy Prize. Lipogen PS (according to the same article) it has been officially reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is the only Health supplement that has a "qualified Health Claim for both Cognitive Dysfunction and Dementia.

Absolutely. I am a home care nurse and I use this device all the time on adults. It is fast, accurate, sanitary because it doesn't touch anything, and so easy to use. I also got one for my daughter to use with her children. It can be used for anyone. I HIGHLY recommend it. Most of my patients want to get one after they see how it works. 5 stars, for sure!

Chris S.: I have been using this for a few months now and personally I feel it does work. My experience has been with addressing a panic or anxiety attack already in progress. I begin to tremble when I realize I've lost control. The spray helps me regain that control and sense of ease instantly. I spray, take a couple breaths, and feel better right away. The negative energy is immediately neutralized and I am able to think clearly and continue with life. I have tried it many times since I was skeptical and thought maybe it was all in my head, but it works exactly the same and it works immediately each time. I've never used it and felt that it wasn't working. I think it is a great tool to have in a pinch.

because according to consumer reports' web site, it doesn't work. search for "Focus Factor fiction? There's scant evidence the supplement will boost your memory". you can read the entire article.
