Memo Time and Money Savings Calculator

Memo Time and
Money Savings Calculator

Memo can save families thousands of pounds per month.

Most families dramatically underestimate the hidden cost of supporting someone living with dementia at home.

The figures below are deliberately conservative and are based on UK costs. Individual savings could be substantially higher depending on the person’s condition and the level of support required.

Memo does not replace family or carer’s personal love and attention; however, time and financial pressure often cause carers to feel stress and guilt that they cannot provide constant companionship, and they worry about the one they care for feeling neglect and anxiety or suffering falls or dangerous incidents. Memo simply frees your time and saves your money so you can worry less, and enjoy your time with them, much more!

How much can Memo save your family each month? Try our savings calculator below and you will see that a subscription to Memo is one of the best investments that you can make.

Delaying residential care – Helping someone remain independent at home for longer can postpone moving into a care home.	Average care home costs spread over additional months at home	£500–£2,500+/month equivalent
Reduced emergency call-outs – Medication reminders, wellbeing monitoring and early alerts can reduce avoidable ambulance call-outs or emergency GP visits.	Avoiding just one incident each year	£50–£150/month equivalent

Avoiding missed medication and wasted prescriptions – Better adherence reduces wasted medication and avoidable health complications.	Medication waste and associated costs	£20–£80/month
Less reliance on paid companionship visits – Memo provides conversation, reminders, music, brain exercises and reassurance between human visits, reducing the need for some short support visits.	2–8 companionship visits	£80–£300/month
