Cell phones are not the most user friendly devices for the elderly and handicapped. Too small. Tiny buttons and dimly lit display. Confusing symbols.
Clarity has a new amplified mobile phone that can also be an emergency response device. The cost: $269.95. That’s more than most cell phones but cheaper when you consider the cost of paying for emergency response services.
Features:
- Amplification: 20-decibel amplification for seniors with hearing loss.
- Safety: One-touch, Emergency Help Button to instantly contact loved ones.
- Simplicity: Large four-button operation for easy navigation and dialing.
- Vision: Large backlit display and oversized text for easy reading.
The emergency help button is located on the back of the phone. The one-touch, heart-shaped button calls and sends text messages to five pre-programmed numbers, such as those of family, friends, neighbors or emergency personnel. It cycles through the five contacts until someone is reached.
