Born in the Story family home, we’ve grown from making school science equipment to creating Ravencourt Living – products that make everyday life easier for people with dementia, sight loss, and other challenges. From the Rosebud Reminder Clock to Safer Walking GPS trackers, every design puts care and simplicity first.
A family business with innovation at heart
Innovative & collaborative production
Manufacturing is about more than just making products — it’s about solving real problems for real people. Every item we design begins with listening: to our customers, to families, and to the individuals who rely on our products every day.

They are perfect. I had a couple of dogs that stopped working, I found this site and I ordered 2 to replace my dogs and I am so happy as the dogs lift my spirits when my depression kicks in. You cannot help but smile at them.
