Good morning. I recently saw an article on light therapy and helping with mood and memory. Has anyone tried a 40hz lamp? My mother has advanced Alzheimer’s, but was thinking if it helped her mood that would even be beneficial. Also any supplements that have been helpful? Thanks in advance!
My DW has been receiving an ever increasing amount of spam calls on her cell phone lately. She is currently stage 4 and I while I don't want to discourage her from using the phone, I want to make sure that she is safe.

Hi, I'm trying to find an adjustable bed for my mom, who lives with Alzheimer's. They all seem to have remote controls, and she really needs something that has only a few buttons and is hardwired (attached) to the bed. Otherwise, the remote will quickly go missing. Has anyone found a bed that's working well for them?
Hi friends. I’m looking for guidance on locked and timed medication dispensers. My Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s a year and a half ago. He’s still living independently, and fortunately we live in the house right next door. He takes medication three times a day and I’ve been delivering his medication to him for…
