A dead phone is more than an inconvenience when your loved one has dementia. It can mean missed check-ins, missed reminders, and missed peace of mind.

The RAZ Memory Cell Phone makes charging simple and worry-free. Your senior gets a reminder to charge when the battery runs low, plus visual and audio confirmation when the phone is actually charging. On your end, you can receive a text alert when their battery is low, and you can check the battery and charging status anytime in the RAZ Care app.

No more wondering if their phone is ready when they need it. Learn more: https://tinyurl.com/24tpm5t6

Repetitive 911 calls are common with dementia, and they can create real consequences for everyone involved.

The RAZ Emergency Service offers a smarter path. Instead of dialing 911 directly, emergency calls go to a private dispatch service. A trained agent answers, talks with your senior, and you get a text alert immediately so you can interact with the agent yourself. Together, you decide if 911 is truly needed, or if the call should be canceled.

Your senior still gets help when it matters. False alarms get handled with care.

It always happens when you are having "that day." Nothing seems to be going right. And now your loved one is restless, pacing, and agitated and they can't tell you why. It's an unmet need and not the disease. What are they trying to tell you?

Several things can lead to agitation, for example:
➡️ Fear.
➡️ Pain.
➡️ Noise.
➡️ Hunger.
➡️ Infection.
➡️ Boredom.
➡️ Exhaustion.
➡️ Dehydration.
➡️ Being too cold or warm.
➡️ Too much caffeine, sugar, or junk food.
➡️ A change in schedule such as a late meal.

A sudden change in behavior might indicate pain, UTI or other infection. Seek immediate medical attention.
In most cases, they are trying to express the cause of the unmet need and are becoming as frustrated as you are with them for not being able to communicate with you.

If your loved one is screaming or yelling and will not calm down, don't make any sudden moves and remain calm.
➡️ Urge them to scream it all out and scream with them.
➡️ Agree or be sympathetic with what they say.

When you both "agree," you can slowly calm the situation by taking deep breaths and breathing out slowly. They will mirror your behavior and calm down with you. Once they calm down, it's time to uncover the source.

If the words they are using do not make sense, ask them to point to "it," whatever it is or show you how they use "it." If that doesn't work, create or purchase a deck of communication cards or placemats. For example, showing images of food, with a short title like "I am hungry," or a cup with "I am thirsty," or cards with individual body parts with "I am in pain," which they can point to.

Once you have become adept at using your communication tool, teach everyone who interacts with your loved one how to use it.
It is now a respite tool you can share with anyone who cares for or visits your loved one, so they have a good visit, and you get some down time.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep one to two back-ups for your communication tool where you can find it, in case the original disappears and you don't have to spend time searching for it.

Now let's send "that day" for a timeout in the corner with the dust bunnies.

When a smartphone becomes too complicated, seniors with dementia often stop reaching out. Too many apps. Too confusing. Too much effort just to hear a familiar voice.

Shannon's dad went from rarely calling his five children and brother to connecting with all of them every day. The RAZ Memory Cell Phone simplified everything: picture dialing made calls effortless, quiet hours stopped those early morning calls, and blocking spam eliminated the confusion.

Some seniors see better with dark backgrounds on their phones. Others need bright, light screens to read clearly. Vision changes with age, and what works for one person might strain another's eyes.

The RAZ Memory Cell Phone lets you change the background color to improve contrast and match your senior's needs. Whether they prefer light or dark mode, you can adjust it remotely through the RAZ Care app.

No accidental answers to unknown callers. No vulnerability to scams.

Worried your senior will get confused when trying to call you?
With the RAZ Memory Cell Phone, making calls is as simple as tapping a loved one's picture. No scrolling through contacts, no confusion.

And here's the best part: you decide what's available for the senior. Through the RAZ Care app on your own phone, you can set it to picture-dialing only, or add the keypad option if your senior is comfortable dialing numbers.

You're in control, even from miles away. Staying in touch with loved ones shouldn't feel complicated.

Why isn't my loved one eating?
➡️ Can't see the food to eat it.
➡️ No longer recognizes food.
➡️ Difficulties swallowing.
➡️ Decreased appetite due to aging.

Let's address the first stage, when they can't see the food to eat it.
In natural aging, the lenses in our eyes thicken, making it more difficult to see without additional lighting or glasses. As brain changes progress, someone with dementia develops a form of color blindness called achromatopsia. Eventually they see black, white and the contrast of bright colors such as red, blue, yellow and lime green.

Imagine a Thanksgiving dinner, hors d'oeuvres served on small ruby-glass plates and your loved one with dementia is eating the hors d'oeuvres and chatting with family members. It's time for dinner and everyone gathers around the table.

Plates are piled high with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole all smothered in gravy dangerously close to spilling over the side of the plate. Everyone dives in except your loved one who is looking at the plate, shaking their head and weeping. No amount of coaxing will get them to eat.

What is going on?
They see an empty plate. There isn't enough contrast for them to recognize the food.

Mealtime Support without Struggle
How can we empower them to eat? We preserve their dignity by:

➡️ Using a bright red or bright blue plate.
➡️ Serving them in courses starting with the protein, followed by carbohydrates then produce. If they feel singled out, join them eating in courses.
➡️ Allowing them to finish each course before serving the next.

Bright red or blue cups will help them drink more fluids.

Use bright colors sparingly. Too much color can be overwhelming to someone with brain changes. They will show you by removing or hiding it.

💡 Pro Tip: If you are having trouble getting them to eat, give them something small that is slightly sweet or lightly salty to encourage salivation five to ten minutes ahead of eating, signaling that it is time to eat.
As caregivers, enabling our loved ones to continue self-feeding takes one more thing off our already full plate.
