Dementia phones

[Taishalation]

Hi everyone I’m a carer for my dad with alzheiemers in the early stages. I am looking to get him a new phone but I’m unsure of what I should get considering he has dementia. Any help?

Mobile or landline?

Mobile right now. My dads never used the landline

Have a look at the Doro range https://www.doro.co.uk/mobile-devices/easy-phones.html

It may be worth going for a future proof more expensive one
e.g.

My husband manages a doro....and can speed dial me, even when he is very confused. We programmed names in for him.

Just bought my OH an easy to use mobile from Binatone. He still can't seem to use it, I've written down instructions... a 3 step process, but he's still struggling. It's the phones fault of course! It only has two number in it!

OH couldn’t use a landline, and had never used his mobile, long before he was diagnosed. Is it worth sorting a new one?
