Have you begun to experience any diminishing of your super powers? Well I have and with the passing of time I have had to make adjustments, especially when it comes to my vision. This makes me appreciate VTech Careline‘s new telephone system as the huge improvement it is on Alexander Graham Bell’s 137 year old telephone. Take a quick look at this 2 minute video and you will see why I feel this way, especially in caring for seniors.
Careline’s home safety telephone system looks like the same old telephone but in discrete ways it addresses aging eyes, security, forgetfulness, limited capacity, and security while merging the concerns of aging with the advancement of technology. At the same time it brings emotional solace to caregivers and family members of seniors who do not live with them. And I must repeat that in a darkened room it allows a person with failing eyesight to see who is calling.
Some of you have heard me speak of a friend who has cared for her mother in her home since her mother suffered a debilitating stroke. Her mother’s condition is further complicated by a nervous system disease that has left her completely unable to care for herself. Because she is alone much of the time, this telephone brings her much comfort. VTech Careline’s (home safety telephone system) allows her to reach out to others and for others to reach her without the help of anyone.
She can dial the telephone without help because the buttons are large. The phone is extremely light so if need be, she can place it in her wheelchair. She can use the built-in speaker system should she choose. In an emergency she has the convenient pendant that she wears around her neck to reach her Aide. And she can quickly speed dial or voice activate someone for help.
I tested this product and I allowed my friend’s mother to test it for an objective review. She had nothing but positive comments to share and is now looking to buy this exact phone. By the way, for the budget conscious there are no monthly fees. For a full and complete understanding of this home safety telephone system visit the website and read more here.
