As we age, life isn’t structured around time in the way that it was when we were younger. Without the work week to help define the passage of days, organizational tasks like medical appointments, birthdays, or even medications become more challenging to manage. For those with cognitive decline or early dementia, the sense of time passing can also become distorted, causing them to prepare or arrive for appointments hours before their scheduled time.
For active seniors who need a little help managing daily life, Mango Display is a digital information app that can be installed on an existing display device (Samsung TVs, LG TVs, Amazon Firestick TV, Google TV, iPad, Fire Tablet, or Android Tablets). Its customizable layouts are easy to create with personalized calendars, daily agendas, to-do lists, family photos, weather updates, personal messaging, and more. Setup is done through a web browser and the drag-and-drop creation tools allow you to have a display designed and operational within minutes.
For individuals who are in the early stages of dementia or Alzheimer’s, losing track of time, the lack of familiarity, or even too much content can become overwhelming. Mango Display’s slide show feature allows you to focus on the simplicity of displaying the day, month, date, and time (with no abbreviated words) on one screen, simple family messages on another, and the ability to share family photo accounts as gentle reminders.
In a family caregiving situation, its dynamic calendar integrates with Google/Microsoft Outlook calendars so that important dates stay consistent for everyone (seniors will also love how the calendar triggers a countdown timer to important events like Birthdays or special events!). Because family communication is important for caregiving, the ability to message, post reminders, and create lists ensures that everyone can keep up with organizational care efforts.
Mango Display’s digital information app offers an excellent way for seniors to stay organized and in control of their daily schedule. For families, it provides an easy way to communicate with their loved ones and also stay connected as a unit. The app is available as a free trial, and the yearly cost is between $30-$60 depending on the features enabled. More than just a clock and calendar, Mango Display is the organizational tool you never knew you needed.
