The Ameriphone has provided a freedom to me by allowing me to leave him alone for short periods of time knowing that he can reach our children as well as "911" if needed. My husband has frontotemporal dementia. I highly recommend this phone to older folks who need assurance that appropriate peole can be reached with a minimum of effort. In addition, I feel much more comfortable knowing that if anything should happen to me here in the house, he will have a way of summoning Emergency Personnel quickly by simply pushing the "911" emergency button on the phone. It is a type of dementia that affects his ability to remember numbers (i.e. phone numbers) as well as communication skills.
This phone was purchased for people in their 80's and it is working fairly well for them.The ringer button on the right side of the phone caused problems for a day or two as when you move the phone it is very easy to slide this button to off which then the phone blinks red when it is ringing but if you don't see well it is hard to see that.Other than that the volume of the ring and the voice volume is very good.
My mother is 95 years old and can now independently call those closest to her with no difficulty. You just pick up the receiver and push one button and you are connected to the number. The buttons are very large and easy to find. The fact that you can put a photo over the button for easy recognition is great.
He talks to all of his friends and family with very few what did you says. This works great. My dad recently came to live with us. He is completely deaf in one ear and not too much better in the other.
Very happy with the purchase. Now, she pushes one button and reaches the person she wants and can hear what they are saying. The amplication and easy photo speed dial made a big difference for my mother. Because of a slight hearing loss and an inability to dial a long number successfully, she has been cut off from some family members.
