I am looking for a computer program or app that will help my dementia-suffering friend understand what appointments he has "today". His dementia has particularly affected his sense of chronology and orientation in time. He needs something that will automatically open on his Mac computer, and that will show what he has scheduled for "today" without confusing him with options for choosing a different day or entering data. (In theory, this app would allow his friends to enter the appointment data for him.) I can imagine a widget or something like that, where a single click would open a "today" window with times of scheduled events (medical appointments, meetings with friends, optional goings-on). Does anyone know of such a program or app? I have looked on-line, but I haven't found anything simple enough for my friend to use. All of the common calendars are far too complicated for him. Thank you for any suggestions! (At this point he does not have a smartphone or a tablet. If there was a great calendar made for either of those technologies, he might decide to get one.)
Why not use a simple wall calendar where whomever is caring for this person can easily write in the appointments? That is what I use for my Dad and for myself. I still use a large desk calendar at work, and an old fashioned appointment book. No need to open up the computer and wait for the program to down load.
