Title: Easy to use when you are visually impaired!!
Review: Arrived on time, and in perfect condition. Easy to set up and use. Bought for my 99 year old mom, who is blind in one eye, almost blind in the other eye. It has a base & phone, with an add on phone & base. You can add on more extra add on phones & bases but we didn’t need them. We set up the main base & phone. You need the main base for the add on to work. The add on has large buttons, so I added bright colored paper, with an initial under the first button. The second button, I used a different bright colored paper, with another initial. I put in my number and my sisters, with the corresponding initial. All she does is press the button with the correct initial of who she want to call. She’s in a nursing home. This has kept her independent and can call either of us easily. And she knows when we call her & who it is. All she has to do is press the button that is light up. This phone is awesome, helps her to call either one of us and also take calls from others. She uses it every day. Never an issue with the phone, voices are clear, easy to charge, easy to use, easy to hang up to end the call for a visually impaired person. So happy I found this phone so mom can continue to be so independent.

Title: Elderly Parent and Safety
Review: This phone rings louds. Since mom is hard of hearing and has dementia we needed to get her something that she should hear n see the flashing red light that also screened out those annoying scammers. I was able to program the phone to where only 8 people are on her allowed call list and the scammer calls are blocked. The allowed list feature is really cool because it announces who is calling so mom knows that ie “Maryann” is calling. The phone programming did take some understanding to get to the allowed list but once I git it figured out – LOVE IT!

Title: Purchased for Parent Who Recently Had a Stroke
Review: Update (3/17/24): Some items that I have noticed/learned since purchasing this phone for my mom:1. You may want to disable the Call Block button on the corded phone base. On a few occasions, my mom has pressed the Call Block button which has blocked my number after having called her. You can disable the Call Block function using the cordless phone.2. I’ve found that my mom will turn off the answering machine function because it has the red on/off button next to it. So you may need to check your parent’s phone to make sure that they haven’t turned off the function.3. The phone will ring even if the corded handset is off of the base unit. You just need to make sure that you press the ‘hang up’ button to answer a call in this scenario.I noticed that some have noted that they are having sound issues with their units. We haven’t encountered this issue (yet) and have had the unit for just under 2 years.——-My mother recently had a stroke and we have found that this phone system has been helpful overall. Some pros and cons include:Pros:*The corded phone is best because there is no way that she will misplace the phone.*The phone has small slots where you can put a picture of a relative for easy phone calls. Instead of pictures, we put the names of individuals in each slot.*The corded phone is very loud (ringing) and for hearing.Cons:*The cordless phone can be confusing for her – too many buttons. The M1, M2, M3…. buttons (associated with stored numbers) are not helpful. A stroke victim with memory issues is not going to be able to tie M1 to the first number stored into memory on the corded phone.*The cordless phone sound quality is only okay.We ended up purchasing the accessory cordless phone that has less buttons and has slots for pictures (once again, we put in names into each slot). It’s working well for her.Overall, I would say that the phone is worth purchasing. I initially purchased a different cordless phone with all of the bells/whistles. However, I quickly learned that it was too confusing for my mom. Believe me, you need to get a very simple phone to use. The corded phone is what my mom uses the most. (Note: You may want to purchase a longer cord for the handset/base unit – just so that your relative can sit comfortably to talk on the phone.)Good luck to anyone working with a relative who has had a stroke and ends up having difficulties using devices. It’s definitely a learning experience for me. Hard to believe that my mom actively used an iPhone before her stroke and now finds that using a cell phone is too overwhelming.

Title: Good choice for Mom!
Review: Purchased along with the VTech SN5307 Amplified Photo DIAL Accessory Handset.Mom was really struggling with her old Panasonic wireless phones. Buttons were to small, screen hard to read…etc. etc.These seemed like an interesting alternative. Mom couldn’t be happier! The picture dual buttons seem a little gimmicky, but they really make using the phone much easier. Simply print some pictures of family, add a Name and insert them into the frames. Then just program the numbers/names and you’re ready to go!It’s a little annoying that the pictures aren’t the same size, buts that’s a pretty minor thing.One good tip, keep the names you program into the memory simple – once programmed the caller ID will say the name. User will here “Call from Bob” for example and they can easily decide if they want to answer or not.The accessory handset will have the same four numbers programmed as picture dial on the main phone. You can’t dial any other numbers from the accessory handset, but you can answer any incoming calls.Yes, the handsets are both battery hogs, if you leave them off the charger overnight they will low the next morning. Just keep them in the charger and they will be ready when you need them.The voice caller ID is great, if you don’t here someone you recognize, just don’t answer.The speaker phone on the the base, main handset and accessory handset are all pretty good and the range is great.Overall a great choice for anyone who only needs a few programmed contacts, has trouble pushing little buttons and just wants something simple.The instructions are pretty well written and easy to follow.Definitely recommend!
