Why Families Love Memoryboard

I LOVE this board. It just makes everything so much easier for my mom with advancing Alzheimers. I can remind her I am coming over, then reminder to get ready, then let her know I'm on my way. Before, I would call and share all three things, only to arrive and she wasn't ready. The Memoryboard has been a game changer for us. We've discussed getting a second board in the future, as she continues to decline.

My mom lived with us for many years until her memory started to fade too much for us to be able to give her adequate care. Every morning before she woke up, I would write on a whiteboard what to expect for the day so that she could remember what was going on. When I needed to move her into Assisted Living, I was really worried about her memory and how to contact her if she couldn’t hear her phone and not having her whiteboard, she was going to be really sad. It was recommended that I check out Memory Board and I’m so glad I did. I ordered it immediately and put it in her new apartment on day one. I made sure that I reached out to all family and friends and gave them an opportunity to send her messages and pictures as well. She looks forward to it every day and always comments every time we visit how much she loves her Memory Board. We can remind her when we’re coming to visit. Remind her of activities that she would enjoy where she lives. It’s sitting right where she can see it from her favorite chair. It’s a lifesaver to all of us and we love it. Thank you so much for developing this for us.

We’ve had The Memoryboard up and running for about a month now and absolutely love it. There’s only one thing that I really don’t like about it, and that is the private messages that even the administrator cannot see. That hasn’t been a problem for us yet, but I can see how it could be. I have had to take down posts that I posted because they disturbed my sister. She got very agitated about pictures of our deceased brother and parents, so I took those posts down. If someone else posted those photos privately, I would never see them or be able to take them down. Oops, there’s actually two things I don’t like. The second is that anybody can alter your post. My nephew actually did this. I had spent a lot of time inputting the month’s schedule from the memory care facility, and making sure that not too many posts were running at the same time. He went in and changed the timing, so I had to redo it all. I think only the administrator should be able to alter someone else’s post.
So much for the negative, there are so many positives. I am in Colorado and my sister is in Florida, and she is not very good about answering her phone anymore. The other day I put a post on The Memoryboard for her to call me, and she actually did. I considered that a huge success. We also discovered that she was enjoying it so much that she was waking up in the middle of the night and looking at the pictures. She was able to do this, even though we had put the board to sleep for the night. She discovered if she touched the sleeping board, she could look at whatever picture was playing in the background for three seconds. There was a pretty easy workaround for that. We no longer schedule posts to run for 24 hours, they just run from 8 AM to 9 PM then we have another post that says good night that runs all night long in the background while the board is asleep.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase!

It truly is awesome and worth the cost. We are raised in a world of technology but as we age it is harder for aged individuals to learn and remember these new technologies. This gives you the ability to help thru appointment settings, directions, reminders and most of all familiarity of photos and messages from family members staying connected most impressive is it gives them the ability to still make choices and feel independent with support.

I am a very satisfied customer and great full to have found this product for my pop.

Pin a post feature is a Godsend! My mother has several photos that I upload and she is deaf and so, when I would send her a new message before pin a post was a feature, she wouldn't get the message right away if she wasn't right there at the board because she can't hear the ding for the new message. But if I know I have to get her a message right away, I use pin a post, and it stays up until she calls me to tell me that she got it. I love this little machine. It lets me put in reminders for her meds too so she doesn't forget, and I leave them on the board for 15 to 20 minutes in case she's away from the board to make sure she sees them.

I also really appreciate being able to update the board through the app instead of having to run over to her house to do the update manually on the board!! ❤️❤️
