The hardest hour
As afternoon fades, confusion and agitation rise — “sundowning.” It’s often the loneliest, most frightening part of the day.

See Alice for your familyAs afternoon fades, confusion and agitation rise — “sundowning.” It’s often the loneliest, most frightening part of the day.
Wandering. A missed dose. A fall when no one’s there.
Isolation deepens dementia, and it wears the caregiver down too.
You’re the reminder, the calendar, the safety net, the company — all day, every day.
You are not failing. This is genuinely hard, and you shouldn’t have to do all of it alone.
How Alice helps — honestly
A scheduled late-afternoon call with a grandchild, or favorite family photos and voices on the TV, can steady the person right when sundowning peaks. Familiarity soothes.
Medication, meals, and daily rhythm — prompted in a warm voice, in their own language. Routine calms; the reminders take load off you.
A patient companion to talk with between visits, so they’re not alone.
Looking through family photos together is one of the gentlest ways to lift mood.
Each day you can simply see they’re okay — up, fed, calm — and rest without guilt. If something’s off, the right person is alerted.
No app, no tablet, no new device to learn — the television they’ve watched their whole life. One button.
