I purchased this clock for my dad who resides in an assisted living center.  He was getting mixed up on the days of the week and the date, so this was a really good solution and really has helped to keep him on track.  The only problem I've had with the clock is when we set the clocks back from daylight savings the clock was supposed to reset automatically and did not.  What it DID do, however, was to mix up the A.M. and P.M.  Odd!  Other than that it's worked out very well.  With the large display he can definitely see it across the room.
