In April 2026, Stacey Eisenberg, senior care expert and owner of A Place At Home - North Austin, 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 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 inspiration behind the tool dates back decades, when Eisenberg spent time in a nursing home where her mother worked. There, she met Peter, a resident who lived to 116 and remained engaged and connected. His daily habit of counting beads helped him stay focused and grounded. Years later, Eisenberg transformed that memory into Peter’s Memory Beads, a practical tool for families, caregivers, and communities concerned about dementia. The beads encourage hands-on cognitive engagement, supporting focus, routine, and memory through simple interaction, aligning with brain health principles such as those highlighted in her article about keeping the mind active.
The product was brought to life through 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, Peter’s Memory Beads are available for bulk orders, allowing organizations, schools, and community groups to create fundraising campaigns centered on brain health awareness.
All proceeds from the sale of Peter’s Memory Beads are donated to the Alzheimer’s Association, turning a simple activity into a meaningful act of support for those affected by memory-related conditions. “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,” said Eisenberg. A Place At Home - North Austin, her home care agency, provides in-home senior care services across Round Rock, Austin, and surrounding communities, focusing on personalized care and dementia support.
