One of the biggest struggles for families is helping loved ones stay oriented and remember important details. From the day of the week to who’s coming to visit. That’s where a dementia reminder board can make all the difference.
What Is a Dementia Reminder Board?
A dementia reminder board is a tool designed to help people living with memory loss stay organized and independent. Traditionally, these boards display essential information such as:
The date and time
Daily reminders (like “Take morning medication” or “Lunch with Sarah”)
Photos of loved ones
Encouraging messages to reduce anxiety
While many families use simple whiteboards or cork boards, digital dementia reminder boards are becoming increasingly popular. These modern boards automatically update through a mobile app, making it easy for caregivers to share messages, reminders, and photos in real time — no matter where they are.
Why Dementia Reminder Boards Matter
Routine and familiarity are crucial for people with dementia. Having a clear, consistent display helps:
Reduce confusion and stress by showing what’s happening each day
Promote independence by allowing the person to follow their schedule
Encourage connection with loved ones through shared messages and photos
Provide reassurance that they’re supported, even when family members can’t be there in person
Caregivers often say that a well-designed reminder board helps bring peace of mind — for both the person with dementia and their family.
Choosing the Right Dementia Reminder Board
When selecting a reminder board, consider:
Ease of use: Large text, simple layout, and clear navigation
Customizability: Ability to add personal photos, voice notes, or recurring reminders
Remote access: So family members can update information from anywhere
Durability and visibility: A bright, easy-to-read display that fits the home environment
