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. This tactile brain health tool, inspired by a lifetime of personal experiences in senior care, is 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.
Decades before founding her home care agency, Eisenberg spent time in a nursing home where her mother worked. It was there she met Peter, a resident who lived to 116 and remained engaged, aware, and connected. One of his daily habits was counting beads, a repetitive, tactile activity that helped him stay focused and grounded. Years later, that memory became the inspiration for Peter’s Memory Beads, transforming a simple observation into a practical tool for today’s 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 highlighted in her article on keeping the mind active.
The journey from memory to 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 support initiatives addressing real 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. Every purchase directly contributes to the Alzheimer’s Association, turning a simple activity into a meaningful act of support. "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.
