Memory loss is stealthy. We are living longer and we want to remain active, robust. Experiencing some form of memory loss as we age is not uncommon, and it’s not unusual to hide it from family, friends or even our doctor for fear of being judged or labeled. We may...

“The Theora Care solution alerted us to my father's behavioral changes, enabling us to intervene before it escalated into an upsetting and costly hospital stay.”
"She's talking to me (from Oregon) rather than pushing a button and getting a stranger. I would never be able to keep this much watch on her from Texas under normal circumstances. It’s not like she has a cell phone. She doesn’t have a computer. She doesn’t even want to think about it, but the watch, she’ll wear.”
“No matter what stage (of Alzheimer’s) the watch is one of the most important items you will ever purchase if your loved one wanders. I put it off because I didn’t want to admit what was happening. It looks like a very stylish watch anyone would wear. It has proven invaluable in locating Alan when he gets a stubborn streak and takes off. I would recommend you buy a Theora Care watch sooner rather than later, for more peace of mind and increased safety for your loved one.”
“I was on my telephone, had my back turned for just a minute. I hung up, turned around and my wife was gone. I went to our neighbors to check, and they had not seen her leave, either. Three of us were looking for her when I remembered to look at my Theora Link smartphone app and immediately saw where she was located. I called my wife using the auto-answering audio on her Theora Connect watch, asked her if she knew where she was and she said, ‘I don’t know’ but at least I could reach her. She was walking in the middle of the road, she could have been hit by a car or fallen and hit her head. I thought, ‘What would have happened if she hadn’t been wearing the watch?’ It was a lifesaver.”
While shopping, one of my greatest fears came true and I became separated from my husband, Richard. I did not realize that he had left the store and was wandering outside in the parking lot. Fortunately, I was able to use the Quik Connect 2-way voice feature to get the attention of a Good Samaritan who was near Richard. The Good Samaritan heard me trying to talk to him and was able to help bring him safely back into the store and by my side ... where he’s been for over 50 years
