Timers for Senior Care

"I spent most of my career as a speech therapist in long-term care and sometimes the caregivers want to do the whole activity for their residents. If you can allow your resident (or your loved one) to participate in that activity that they are doing for themselves [with the Time Timer], it gives them that functional independence as well as that dignity"

- Christina, Speech Therapist, AE Corner

Activity Management

Visual timers can be set for various durations to manage activities. Activities may include recreational activities such as classes, facility meetings, special events, group activities, and personal care routines.

Effective Communication

Visual timers can offer a clear countdown for mealtimes, family visits and important daily schedule or daily routine changes. Visual timers offer caregivers and seniors a common reference point that is objective.

Medication Management

Visual timers may be used to help manage medication administration and schedules. Empowering seniors and their caregivers to maintain a sense of consistency and structure within their daily medication routines.

Johnny Owens, Senior Care Assistant

“My day is go, go, go. Between clients, I use my Time Timer PLUS to sit down, take a breath, maybe grab something to eat, and decompress before helping my next client.”

Savannah, Associate Executive Director at Senior Care Living Facility

Seniors do well with routine and anything added to that routine should be more simple. They are capable of understanding more complexities, but with simplicity, it can fit more easily into their current routine.
