My sister-in-law gave me a verbal alarm clock to help mom with reminders. She has an erratic sleep schedule and recently had issues with drinking and eating enough so I set it up with a few key items:

• Wakeup reminder
• Exercise reminders
• Eat/Drink reminders

I recorded about 6 reminders to go off during the day and because I didn’t have a multiple plug “extender”, I had to plug it in across the room. I left and came back to my mom calling me – evidently the alarm clock repeats the alarm/message until you hit the “OK” button so it had been on repeat for a solid 20 min with my voice reminding her to do something over and over!
