A precious tool !!!

They've thought of everything! Messages can be read aloud. You can send love notes, reminders and photos. You can find out if the message has been seen or not, or if the clock has been disconnected. In short, what a reassuring tool for the caregiver, and what a joy for the loved one receiving the messages! Indispensable! We wouldn't want to do without it.

Idem clock-battery

We haven't yet tried it with our loved one. However, during our test period, we noticed that the battery had to be recharged every day. Given his cognitive problems, which would prevent him from plugging it back in on a daily basis, we chose to leave it plugged in 100% of the time.

We are very pleased with this purchase. It's a great help in helping our parents establish a routine and reassure them as they adapt to life in an RPP. It's a good tool for keeping in touch. Certain functions seem to be more effective for them (notes and events), although the message sometimes escapes them!
