I purchased this clock for my mum who struggles with remembering appointments. Setting it up was a breeze and more importantly it is user friendly for seniors. Mum hasn’t missed an appointment since!

I bought this for my dad who has dementia. Even if it’s just used with the normal screen as a reminder for what day it is that’s worth the purchase. A great tool that helps dad. The alarms and notifications that can be programmed are a bonus if needed.

This clock is great for its basic display making it clear for my mum to see the day and time. It could definitely be improved in terms of its functionalities. It is quite hard to set up a custom alarm or reminder due to the laborious system of arrow movements on the keyboard. It would be great if this was a touch screen or if it could link to an app where family members can set or even send reminders remotely from their devices. This would make using the extra functions much more user friendly. After standing at the clock for half an hour to set alarms ( with failed attempts and being timed out) I don’t think we can appreciate the other functions. As it is we will use it as a display which will serve a purpose.

Bought for my Mum. Has been very helpful and she likes the extra option of the verbal announcement of the day and time,

Since giving this clock to my mother, who is suffering from dementia, she continually tells everyone that the best thing in the house is the clock. It is very clear, making it easy to read, and from wide angles. Another thing she likes is that it not only shows the time, but also the date, and the time of day.
I couldn't give it 5 stars because birthday reminders remain on the screen until cancelled, even when the date changes. Having dementia means that she does not remember to press the cancel button herself to clear the reminder, even with the prompt that comes up on the screen.

A “senior” honesty could not program this themselves but it does have a great display with the basic essential items displayed

Mum can quickly see the day and mo th. A big help.

My Mum has early onset Dementia. She loves her clock for a number of reasons. She loves the clear, easy reading screen for information to assist during the day/night. A bonus of when the power goes off, it has a memory setting so she does not have to worry about resetting the time. She loves the soft light it provides at night time so she can see in the dark. I will look forward to it automatically switching to day light saving. It is a triple win for my Mum as well as us :)
Moira M.
I highly recommend buying this clock. I bought one as a gift for my mother and she is really pleased with it. She keeps it next to her bed and has set the background to black to reduce the glow at night.
Barbara B.
This is fantastic beside my mother's bed!
MIchele H.
Bought this for my Mum. She loves it. The clarity and information is perfect. I have added family birthdays in as reminders and she is very thankful for those.
My aunt saw it and really thought it was brilliant so I bought her one too.
Excellent purchase.
Glen S.
We recently purchased a Robin Day Clock for my mother inlaw from Home Life.
Like our previous puchase of 3 photo frames for christmas presents, It was a hit.
My mother inlaw loves it.
I would absolutely recommend the Photo frames and Robin day clocks to anyone thinking of purchasing.
They are really easy to set up and use.
Home Life had them delivered in no time.
Very happy.
Margaret S.
Bought this for my mum, and she absolutely loves it. It is clear even from a distance, and have no issues reading it.
Great product
Margaret P.
I chose this clock as the words were not in capital letters, and the buttons were on the side. Even easier to set up than I thought as the buttons have indicators that show up on the screen for what they do. (Dont have to keep turning it to see what to press)
Very easy to read from anywhere in the room, even with plenty of light. And the dim function is excellent too.
Would like to have seen the birthday message in slightly larger font on the screen, but it is still okay as is. Very quick delivery after ordering. Very happy customer thankyou.
Tony M.
Great service. Quick delivery and the clock was easy to set up, even for a doe doe like me.

Grandma loves her new clock, she no longer has to turn on the TV to know what date it is and the clock serves as a night light in the lounge room when she wakes in the night.
Cate C.
My mum loves this clock. She can easily see day, date and time. She would often get confused for which day it was and month so its easy for her to see, at a glance, where the day is up to. We are gradually including reminders so it doesn't overwhelm her. The reminder alarms are great, you can schedule a softer sound and volume so it doesn't frighten her or trigger anything.
Wendy B.
Wish we had bought this before. Absolutely awesome
Lucy C.
I bought this for my parents, who are becoming more forgetful. In particular, they can't remember what day it is. My mum thinks that's OK because they both have a diary but that only works if you know what day it is! The clock is absolutely perfect - it is in the kitchen on a shelf where they can see it as they walk in. They love it! it has made such a positive difference to their lives. Thank you!
Barbra M.
All children and grandchildren's birthdays entered into Robin Clock and hourly announcements of the time between 9:00am and 8:00pm. Dimming feature set for after 8pm - display is clear and announcements are the main feature that make the Robin Clock if great help to my Mum who has mild dimentia.
Best Regards,
GAVIN

I bought the Robin Day clock for my father, who lives in residential care. He was finding it hard to keep a track of the day of the week.
The display is clear,easy to read and functional.
The "Reminder" and "Alert" functions are of benefit also
Kate A.
Dementia is no walk in the park and taking time away from those you love is cruel. We have found the clock is some comfort, a point of reference when reason is beyond ant point to argue. Thank you for the small win.
Alison B.
Excellent customer service and a practical and beautiful clock at the end!
What more could you ask for?
kate H.
Very happy with the clock
Easy to use and much better than i was expecting
Gerald B.
excellent ... better than expected .... and the instructions were clear ...

Merran C.
My mother finds tracking what day of the week is very helpful. It is also brilliant at letting her know of forthcoming events.
Dallas T.
Bought two 'cheapie' clocks before this one on Amazon and eBay. The Robin clock is what those should have been.
The cheapie ones are poorly made and do not have all the features they claim to have. The Robin clock costs a little more however the 'feel' and function of it is far superior to the cheapies.
The dimming timer is a great feature as the cheapies claim to have automatic dimmers but my mother kept having to turn the clock face down on those because it was too bright at night. Now I just set the dimming schedule and level (eg 10pm go to 5% brightness) and it's done.
I also just added a few family birthdays as reminders for mum. Great feature and you can even add a photo and tune that plays. She will love the reminder so she can wish people happy birthday without being told, and that just adds dignity to her life in my opinion. Many more helpful features.
Leticia S.
I got this for my mother who has dementia. It is exactly what we wanted! It is clear for her to see, I’m able to dim it automatically at night and lock the settings so she can’t change it. A real quality product, beautifully packaged, easy to follow instructions and it looks great. Delivery was free and prompt. I couldn’t be happier, thank you.
Yvonne M.
As my husband has aphasia, which makes processing words and numbers very difficult, it is necessary to limit the amount of information displayed at any one time. Having the option to limit the screen to only include the most relevant information he needs, presenting the lettering in different sizes and in the easiest to read colours, helps him to keep track of time better.
Ross N.
Works well. It’s simple to setup and use. My Mum loves it.
Very happy.
Matti P.
The ability to add custom reminders is amazing for getting more consistency to my mothers' hydration and nutrition. I use this to get her up and drinking regular glasses of water.
The set up was very simple and I love the heather colour.
My only suggestion would be to increase the size of the reminder text so it's easy to read from afar.
Stacey T.
Wonderful product. My father instantly found his day clock helpful and the customer service to get clock in time for his birthday was prompt and seamless. Great comfort in knowing I can call for advice with quick response directly from Australian business owner.
SEAN S.
VERY GOOD.
BETTER THAN MOST BY FAR!
CHOICE OF FONT WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT HOWEVER.
EACH LINE SHOULD BE THE SAME SIZE PRINT, RATHER THAN LARGE TIME & SMALLER OTHER PRINT.
Christine L.
Excellent product, well made and very much loved by my mum, who suffers from Alzheimer’s and easily loses track of time.
Isobel G.
Mum absolutely loves her new Robin Clock . It gently lights her room at night and gives her context to her day . She only wished she had purchased one earlier !
Thank you
Linda B.
Our Robin Day Clock works well. Easy to read typeface for older users. The voice button that announces the time is a great feature. Dimming option for night time is also a great feature.
Kaye F.
I took a photo but I couldn't download it. I am 75, my husband has recently turned 80. We often ask each other "what day is it?" and "what's the date?" No more! We have our Robin on our bookstand under the mirror where we walk past all the time. We call it our 'Dementia Clock!' I haven't set it up for our appointments yet, but I'm working on it! Thank you ever so much for marketing such a beautifully designed & produced household device. We don't know what we'd do without it!
Kind regards,
Kaye Frost-Smith

Second clock. Life so much easier!

Excellent product, clear viewing on wide angles and distance, photo was taken from a different room. Side control buttons is a big plus. Plenty of display options, simple, easy set-up.

I bought this clock for a 95 year old friend who lives on her own and was having problems orientating herself to day date and time and morning or afternoon. The clock has completely changed her life and she is now feeling much more confident. She loves the clear large print and the fact that it tells her whether it is morning or afternoon. I am recommending this clock to anyone who needs this. THANKYOU!!
Nancy H.
Very happy with purchase with quick delivery
Rosemary M.
The calendar clock is reassuring with the description of afternoon or morning as well as the actual time.
Sonia B.
Mum now knows the date, month, year and time in her language. She no longer relys on others to tell her. Nothing worse than being in a nursing home room as beautiful as her room is and not knowing these important things. There has been lots of "I must get my parents one of those" when visitors pop by.
suzanne p.
I bought this clock for my elderly Mum. It is fabulous. She now knows what day it is and the anxiety of not knowing is gone. It has helped her orientate her day. Thoroughly recommend.
Debbie S.
My dad won’t have to ask mum first thing each morning “What day is it? “
Yvonne S.
Simply fantastic!
A very easy single setup process to follow. My mum loves it, she now knows what day it is, without the struggle.
The night dimming function is another great feature.
Highly recommended.
Bernard H.
It made a difference to my parents daily confidence and routines.
Gina G.
I previously bought a similar clock for an elderly relative who had dementia and it was so helpful. I retired recently and, particularly during the 'lockdown', was loosing track of the day and date? No more. It provides me with a discreet reminder at a glance, it looks great and is so clear to read day or night. I love this clock.
Martin T.
Very clear display of Time, Day of week, Date and Morning/Afternoon status.
Alarm feature for medication x 6 times a day works a treat.
Michael T.
Great bright display. Detailed time and date. Really helpful reminders to ensure Dad takes medication day and night. Had a really happy sisters birthday over weekend as she received a surprise call from Dad wishing here as he had seen the reminder on device. Thank you Robin.
Aagot K.
The customer service was really good. They actually sent the wrong item initially but it got sorted out really easily with no hassle. Was a good example of customer service retrieval.
Michelle F.
We jog in the pool early in the morning and we need to be able to see the time and the previous digital clock was hopeless - so happy with this new!
jacqueline s.
Best thing I ever bought on line .
Absolutely love it.
Eric S.
Very helpful customer service and highly recommend the Robin day clock. Very well priced and has more features than other brands.
Gwen M.
Bought this for a family friend who has recently moved into residential care & wanted a easy to read wall clock. She loves it.
Amanda V.
My mum went into aged care earlier this year and has dementia. I spent some time trying to find her a clock so she could a. tell the time and b. know what day it was. In comparing similar clocks on the market I have found this one to have everything my mum needs and them some. She is super happy with it and loves the dimming feature which is set at 8pm to dim so she can sleep and its not too bright in her room and then brightens again at 8am in the morning when she wakes up. She is so much happier knowing the day and time at a glance and no is longer repeatedly asking the staff this information. The reminder feature for birthdays and important events is also excellent and it was very easy to set up. I highly recommend this clock to those looking from something to help the elders in their lives, whether it be just knowing the day and time or all the excellent additional features like medication reminders which can help keep them living at home longer and more independently than they might otherwise have been able to.
Janelle C.
I bought this for my 93 year old Dad who was becoming confused with the days of the week. This has solved the problem completely and we are very happy with it!
tracey p.
This clock has really helped mum remember the day and what is happening .
Katrina B.
I bought the Robin Day Clock for my father who has dementia. It sits nicely in the lounge room for him to see daily, and it is what we use to orientate him to the correct day, date, and time. Dad need this as he was getting confused using his diary (turns to the wrong page), or his wall calendar. I made sure to lock the settings so he could not tamper with it and there have been no problems. Also, it re-set itself automatically during a blackout which was great, or dad could have been a bit lost. As a bonus, the clock is bright enough to serve as a night light for when he wanders around in the lounge room - a common issue for those with dementia. Home Life were also great. I received the package really quickly and have a notification email and tracking to know when it was delivered. When I got the product it was in good working order and brand new. I chose the black frame and it goes with all décor. Very happy.
Greg E.
We are very impressed. My ninety six year old mother was getting confused as to whether it was night or early morning.. so now she just looks at the clock and knows.
Jane F.
So easy to set up and the display size is perfect
Stuart O.
I bought the Robin Day Clock through HomeLife Technology for my mother who has dementia.
It has proven to be a godsend, this is a quality product, the build, it's ease of use and the functionality is exactly what we need.
The purchase from HomeLife was smooth and hassle free, the item was shipped and received by me within five day's of buying online, highly recommended.
Laura C.
Just set the Robin clock up for my father, who has dementia and poor eyesight. The display is very clear, a good size, and particularly helpful as it shows the day as well. Dad pleased with it.
Was quick to set up and easy enough for me to add some regular reminders (though might have been a bit hard for my dad to do this alone). So far so good. My only small critique is the reminder messages could be bigger and take up the screen, rather than a line appearing above the current time. It can be confusing when it's a reminder of something that will happen later that day (ie not the current time), such as a visit. It would also have been handy to have a large print manual, even if online, so we could print pages that are easier to read.
Ian B.
The user loves it, when she remembers to leave it plugged in.
Alan B.
The display is good and clear, the instructions could be written more clearly as they are not as straight forward as it is written.
There could also be a custom length of time a reminder can be set current maximum is three minutes as an example mothers day is all day not 3 minutes. We will keep the clock but unfortunately will only be able to use a limited amount of features as there are not enough options in the settings.
Sarah B.
I bought it for my Dad who has dementia, I found it really easy to set up and he quite likes it too, took him a few days to realise it was the clock and not a real person telling him the time. It appears to be a high quality piece of technology that will save me numerous additions to his diary. I was kept up to date with the supply & delivery tracking of the device, so the after sales support is amazing.
Thank you so much, fingers crossed
kind regards
Sarah :)
Kevin T.
This is excellent has everything to make life more enjoyable.
Karen B.
Great display and easy to use
Margaret C.
Our clock arrived very quickly after ordering. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Set up was quick and easy. The clock face is very clear and easy to see day and night. Love the clock a lot
Christine H.
I bought the clock for my friend who suffers from memory loss. She often needed to call me to check on which day it was. Now she has no problem. She loves her clock and says it's an important part of her life. Thanks for a great device.
Walter S.
Prompt reply to our request for more detailed product description and fast delivery.
The unit itself is perfect.
We purchased this unit for our elderly mother who has onset of dementia and our mum feels more confident having time and date in her language.
The unit also has visual and audio reminders that can be programmed for her to take medication.
Happy customer.
Grace M.
I bought this for my 84 year old Mum who was having trouble remembering the day and forgetting medication. Now she can easily see the date, day, time and whether it’s morning or afternoon.
Ashley H.
Does almost everything you need.
Rossi P.
My 97 year old father was having trouble telling the time with his dwindling eyesight. He was also losing track of the day of the week. Not any more! His "Robin Day Clock" sits proudly on his beside table displaying the time in large and clear numbers and displaying the day of the week in Italian - one of the optional languages.
Barry S.
A bit difficult to set up reminders. Mainly because you are dealing with 80 year olds - but clunky just the same. Otherwise OK.
Julie P.
We bought this for our 92 year old parents. They both have mild dementia and are still at home. We thought it would be great to help them continue to be aware of the day and date. The tablet reminder feature is great too. They love it.
Michelle S.
Very happy with the clock, my MIL is too. She now knows what day it is, and has reminders so she won’t miss bus trips or when the hairdresser comes. Love it, thank you
Tracie W.
This is a great clock with clear easy to read writing. Especially the white writing on black background. Clear information. Love it
Patricia K.
My Mum loves it and uses it as a night light by her bedside as well.
Maree M.
Fantastic. I bought this for my 89 year old mother and she loves it! I wish I had bought it sooner as it has made a difference to her being able to feel orientated to date and time and she is more confident in having the visual prompt of morning and afternoon in staying aware of this. It assists with her motivation in daily activities. Great product.
Debbie C.
The clock has been very helpful for those times when Mum has become a little disoriented (particularly after a nap!) about what part of the day it is. She finds the display to be clear and easily visible from across the room.
Her elderly visitors have all commented on how useful the clock is in terms of time, part of day, day and date.
There’s no extraneous information, only that which we chose to display.
Mum is rapt with the clock and the family feels that it’s been an important component of the care that we can provide to make her life a little easier.
Paul B.
Main screen with date, day and time is great. The scheduled messages are in small font (which can’t be adjusted) and not obvious enough despite the sound alarm.
Ann C.
Bought this clock for my elderly father in assisted living. It has been fantastic to keep him aware of the time and day. Easy to read, and one of his neighbours liked it so much, she bought one too. Extremely efficient purchase, shipping and delivery very much appreciated. Highly recommend them .
David A.
Very clear, easy to read display. I bought this for my mum and she loves it.
She wanted something that didn’t have a really bright screen and this one is easily customisable. It’s very useful to have the day of the week on display as well.
Connor D.
I'm hoping to gain independence with my new Robin clock living as a teen with disabilities.
Kerry C.
Very nice and easy to set up, love it.
Ursel R.
very good does everything as expected
Maree B.
This is a great addition to my kitchen bench top.
Having the day date and time all in one clear clock format and housed in such a beautiful frame has changed the way I live my day.
Being a retiree it is so easy to lose track of days and dates, the special dates reminder function is a heaven send. I will never miss a birthday or special date or appointment again.

Mum loves her new clock! It’s a little fiddly to add in events, birthdays but the overall benefits outweigh that.
Robin M.
This device has made a huge difference for the lady we bought it for. She says she feels much less anxious each day now and has asked for a second one to put in another part of her home.
L M.
This new clock for mum’s room is perfect- clear and easy to read from a distance and with a reminder about what day it is (which we could all use sometimes).
David B.
Great product. Features are worth the cost for elderly owners, keeping them aware of dates and reminders.
Karen C.
My mum absolutely loves it and is telling all her neighbours! The display is so clear and it’s really helping her stay oriented. Quality product and easy to set up
Sarah H.
I got this for my elderly mum who easily loses track of what day/month it is, and finds other electronic devices too complicated with things to press and mess up. She is loving this clock even more than I expected her to. It was very straightforward for me to set up and then completely foolproof for her to use. The display is clear and simple.
