As our parents getting older and more dependent on us, their children, or the personnel from an Independent Living facilities, it is of great importance to be aware of many options that could add more independence to their senior living and flexibility of those taking care of them.

VTech has come with an amazing answering system for old age people.. My sister’s mother in law would love to have this… she needs it.
Will gift her, next time I visit her…. hope she likes it 🙂
My grandma sure would have loved this phone! I will be sure to look out for this system for my mom, thank you for sharing.
Safety is definitely important> i can see why carelines are useful.
this is quite awesome I love how secure it could be too.
This would be great for my mom who lives by herself. I’ll have to convince her that she needs it though.
This is a great system. My mom has never been able to master a cell phone. The buttons are to small for her to see clearly. I really like the emergency feature. I know i would feel better knowing my mom had a way to reach out if she fell or could not get to a phone.
Sounds like portable and light weighted. The best choice for seniors, who are all staying alone at homes. As they offer Emergency Pendent Free with out any additional charges, I think definitely it would impress the customers.
I think the simpler you can make it for them, the better. This is a great idea to help everyone feel safer.
another best product from VTech!
Really of big help for our dear senior citizens..
What an awesome product for seniors or those who need additional help. This would definitely give caregivers a better peace of mind.
My father in law’s eyesight is deteriorating as he gets older and really could use items like these but more so for peace of mind for him and us too.
This is a great option to provide for seniors, way to go Vtech!
My grandmother is 93 and lives on her own still. Even though my mother is only 5 minutes away, my grandmother needs this phone! Thanks so much for this review.
This is really great. One of the hardest parts of getting older is loosing that sense of self sufficiency. Now we can hold onto it a little bit longer.
What a great product. One of the hardest things for elderly people is feeling like they can’t take care of themselves anymore. This could really help them hang onto their independence.
When I hear Vtech I always think of kids tablets. I always forget they make other gadgets!
This looks like a great phone for the elderly if they actually still have a landline. I know that we cancelled our a few years ago.
I love that the pendant doesn’t require a monthly charge! This is absolutely perfect for those on a fixed income!
We also have this VTech phone even shipping from the US via Amazon to the Philippines. It’s too helpful for seniors.
Vtech is a great company and this is such a great service.
The large buttons and the photo contact keys definitely make it more senior friendly.
It’s nice how they combined the phone and a communication system. It makes responding to the needs of others faster.
I work full time with seniors in a nursing center and know so many who could benefit from something like this.
VTech is a great company and makes great products. This one looks very good to have for my parents.
My two grandmothers are both over 90 years old and still living. This would be great for both of them.
I have been trying to get my Mom to get something–anything just in case something happens while she is alone in her apartment. I think I will forward this to her–maybe this will be what she will finally decide to get!
I need a new phone. I will have to look in this. My phone has become totally annoying. Battery doesn’t last long. Only rings once before I can’t pick it up. Lol if I used it more often, would have replaced it long ago.
I think this is a much needed item/service for people with need.. thanks you for sharing it!
My mom is starting to have trouble seeing small print. This would help her a lot!
