What it shows

A day clock the whole room can read

NowBoard's clock Boards fill the screen with the time in large type, the day of the week and the full date. There is nothing else on it to distract.

A standalone dementia clock serves one room. A TV-based day clock can be on every shared screen in the home, and it takes the time and date from the internet, so nobody has to change a battery or reset it.

More than a clock

The clock, then the day's activities

Today's activities

Put the clock in a Playlist with the care home activities calendar, so residents see what is on next after the time and date. See NowBoard for activities coordinators.

Today's menu

Show lunch and tea on the dining room screen, changed by the kitchen when the menu changes.

Visitors and notices

Visiting hours and a welcome for families on the reception screen, next to the same clock.

Large, plain type

Pick a Style with high contrast and large text. Several clock designs are available, including portrait versions for a narrow wall.

Questions

Common questions about a dementia day clock on a TV

Does it show morning, afternoon and evening?

Not yet. The clock shows the time, the day of the week and the full date. If a resident needs "morning" or "evening" spelled out, a standalone day clock does that today.

Do we need new screens?

No. Any TV with an HDMI input works with a NowBoard player. See digital signage screens.

Is this a medical device?

No. It is a clock and information screen. It makes no claim to treat or improve any condition.
