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. The product is a tactile brain health tool designed to support the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association and is available now at https://seniorkareexpert.com/beads/.
Decades before founding her home care agency, Eisenberg spent time in a nursing home where her mother worked. There she met Peter, a resident who lived to age 116 and remained engaged and aware. His daily habit of counting beads helped him stay focused and grounded. That memory inspired Eisenberg to create Peter’s Memory Beads, transforming a simple observation into a practical tool for families, caregivers, and communities concerned about dementia.
The beads are designed to encourage hands-on cognitive engagement, supporting focus, routine, and memory through simple interaction. This aligns with brain health principles highlighted in one of Eisenberg’s recent articles about keeping the mind active. By offering a calming and mentally stimulating activity, the tool provides a meaningful way to stay engaged, whether used independently or as part of a caregiving routine.
The product became possible through collaboration with RR3D Funfactory, a local 3D printing service in Round Rock. This partnership reflects the community spirit where local businesses come together to support initiatives addressing real community needs. Beyond individual use, the product is 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 a meaningful act of 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. Through initiatives like Peter’s Memory Beads, A Place At Home - North Austin continues to expand its role as both a care provider and a community advocate for aging populations.
