Hi all,
I need some advice. As some or most of you know my Grandmother
suffered a Stroke the tues. Before Thanksgiving. She's still weak & in
guarded condition. She's getting therapy so that's a good sign. We are
not sure just how much of Grandma we are going to have. So She will
need things that someone who can not see very well (Font size of
36-72) can use.
Now two major things are on the list. A CD Playing Radio & a
Speakerphone & Headset. The Phone needs to be something that
she can just tap a button to answer & Hang up. Oh it also can't cost a
whole lot ($75+.)
So anyone have some product advice?

Now its time to begin looking up your community nurse and asking her ,
if you have such a thing over there , here inthe backwards nation of AU
we got community health , cheap / free help for aged and disabled folk ,
handrails for toilets and showers , shower chairs , toilet aids , bed
lifts etc , for free or cheap rent .
Ask around look up comunity help centers , they have amazing gear .
That's not the advice I'm looking for... She is most likely
going to be living out the rest of her life in a Nursing home.
She needs a phone that she can use or a cd player as reading
is out of the question. Most speaker phones are out of the
question...
Now IIRC there is a couple of folks here wheelchair bound &
hope they catch this thread.
