My sister has Alzheimer's and now has no method of communicating as she cannot work her iPhone. She also loses it on a regular basis. She cannot understand how to make a call or send an email. Now her only source of communication is thru her medical alert button. I need some sort of help with finding some simple method of allowing her to talk and send emails. The land line was a bust as she could not understand how to answer it or dial out. I also bought her a Senior Computer with lots of tech support but she "hated" it and gave it away.
Judy, just to confirm - what sort of housing is your sister in? Is it still independent living?
How many hours is she alone there & how many hours with support?
As far as emails, my mom no longer can reliably access that, so I print them out and take them to the facility for her to read. I encourage her friends to send her a card or a note or a photo.. She keeps those in a purse and looks at them frequently .
It has never really worked very well since I threw it out the front door.
I often have to explain that I can no longer talk to sis as the phone is wonky.
I think. 🤣
