A system for providing patients with dementia or other cognitive impairment with instructions and reminders of tasks to enable them to live with minimum third party oversight. The system provides for a continuous display of viewable indicia of at least one of text or images to provide the patient messages. The messages may be generated by a remote third party or software running on a computer. Employing the system, a remote user such as the child of a patient can provide instruction and reminders to the patient allowing them to live with minimal supervision.
