Introduction | Memory Loss Aids | Aids for Daily Activities
Science has proven, that a combination of how one lives and what one eats, can influence the onset of Alzheimer’s, even with all the uncertainty surrounding the disease. We can recognize the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s and take preventive measures to try to slow it’s onset. Thankfully technology has aided people to combat Alzheimer’s by making it easier for patients and caregivers to manage daily life activities with ease.
The most recognizable symptom of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, especially of newly gained information. Alzheimer’s aids mainly include aids for this purpose. The loss of fine and gross motor skills, tremors, decreased stability and balance are some of the other symptoms of Alzheimer’s.
At Rehab Store, we have a wide range of aids that can help you manage different symptoms of Alzheimer’s, thus making the life of the patient and caregiver easier and more comfortable.
The first set of aids help combat memory loss by allowing the user to create a system to ensure that they don’t forget things in the course of daily activities.

A switch for 10 one touch keys allows for picture dialing, which is great for people who cannot dial numbers. This phone is backed up even when the unit is unplugged from the line.
