Sharing my experience, in the hope it makes things a little easier for you. These are affiliate links but I only share things that have helped us.

Dementia clock we use. As each day becomes less distinguishable this helped reduce anxiety around day and time as memory became less reliable.

This was the first echo show I bought, one for me, one for them. It has been so valuable - speaking to doctors, paramedics and carers visiting my parents, allowing me to help from a distance

Keep an eye on mum and dad’s visitors without being intrusive. So many people now call at their home, carers, healthcare professionals, Amazon deliveries! It helps just to keep an eye on things from afar.

Now dad is in bed downstairs this allows mum to see and hear he is ok whilst she is upstairs

A healthier sweet treat. Chocolate helps, we all know that however if you have diabetes this is a good option

Video calling, photo display and much more. I can drop in and provide more comfort than just a phone call. Dad now has this one near his bed.

Helpful things that made caring easier - as mum’s grip has weakened due to arthritis and more ready meals are cooked in the oven, this has been an essential addition to the kitchen
