In April 2026, Stacey Eisenberg, senior care expert, owner of A Place At Home - North Austin, and community educator for the Alzheimer’s Association Capital of Texas Chapter, announced the release of Peter’s Memory Beads, a tactile brain health tool designed to support the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association. Available now at https://seniorkareexpert.com/beads/, the product offers individuals and organizations a way to actively engage the mind while contributing to Alzheimer’s research and support services.
The product is named after Peter, a resident Eisenberg met decades ago while visiting a nursing home where her mother worked. Peter lived to age 116 and remained engaged, aware, and connected. One of his daily habits was sitting and counting beads—a simple, repetitive tactile activity that helped him stay focused and grounded. That memory inspired Eisenberg to create Peter’s Memory Beads as a practical tool for today’s families and caregivers concerned about dementia.
Peter’s Memory Beads encourage hands-on cognitive engagement, supporting focus, routine, and memory through simple interaction. This aligns with brain health principles highlighted in Eisenberg’s article about keeping the mind active. The beads provide a physical activity that is calming and mentally stimulating, suitable for independent use or as part of a caregiving routine.
The product was developed in collaboration with RR3D Funfactory, a local 3D printing service in Round Rock, Texas. This partnership reflects the community spirit of Round Rock, where local businesses support initiatives addressing real community needs. Beyond individual use, the beads are available for bulk orders, allowing organizations, schools, and community groups to create fundraising campaigns centered on brain health awareness.
All proceeds from Peter’s Memory Beads are donated to the Alzheimer’s Association, turning a simple activity into meaningful support for individuals and families affected by memory-related conditions. This model bridges personal action with collective impact, giving people a tangible way to participate in the fight against Alzheimer’s while supporting cognitive well-being.
“I never forgot Peter. Watching him stay present by counting beads shaped how I think about brain health. This is a way to share that lesson and help others,” Eisenberg said.
A Place At Home - North Austin provides in-home senior care services across Round Rock, Austin, and surrounding communities, focusing on personalized care, dementia support, and helping individuals maintain independence at home. Through initiatives like Peter’s Memory Beads, the organization expands its role as both a care provider and community advocate for aging populations.
