I've been trying to find a electronic or electric calendar for my dad, and really am failing. There's wall clocks but nothing SIMPLE. you used to be able to buy a desk calendar which simply clicked on to the next day automatically and I can't find anything that's not digital—and most of them are in american format which he simply doesn't understand

 

Can anyone help? I've been googling for hours and am burned out.

this is perfect but look at the price!!

Not cheap, but seems to be the kind of thing you're looking for? http://tinyurl.com/6k4mb73 - it's from AT Dementia, which is a site you might find useful anyway.

This one - http://tinyurl.com/czldq8 - is cheaper, but might be a bit smaller...

And having just checked, that one you linked to - or very similar - appears to be only £65 on the AT Dementia site!

yes, I found those, both hugely expensive. can't believe that there's not a cheaper version available.

I found this one on ebay. Fairly cheap at $10.99 American. Free shipping. Worldwide shipping. I thought it was pretty nice looking too. I've had pretty good luck buying stuff from Hong Kong/China. Of course, I don't get stuff that's very expensive either, so I don't lose much.

that's very nice - although I really need something that says "March" rather than "3" If you know what i mean. 3 just confuses him.

thank you so much, though, very kind.

OMG. That's expensive!
In Norway we have a "help sentral" where you can borrow or rent things like walkers and even digital equipment for disabled people. You don't have anything like that over on your side of the sea?
I really wish I could help you.

Have you tried ebay for a used one?
