Can work for people with memory problems or Alzheimer's disease

Suitable for people with Alzheimer's disease, which allow them to use only the main buttons of the TV. It's easy to program 5 favorite channels, even digital channels that have "-" or "." (It can even be configured to work with 10 channels, but that makes it for a person with a disability slightly more difficult), but such programming must be done by a caregiver. Make room to attach a small or P-Touch label with the actual channel number over the existing numbers 1 through 5 pre-printed on theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Audio and video accessories
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

Not suitable for patients with dementia

We sent it back. This was for someone with dementia and the regular remote had too many options (accidentally installed and deleted other people's DVR settings, accidentally bought pay-per-view material, etc.). We chose this one because it was the only remote we could find with a volume cap (an ongoing issue we wanted to fix). When it got here we found the keys weren't labeled, which we could have done with a labeling device. But the strange arrangement of the five favorite buttons completelyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Accessories and consumables
Cons
  • I will write later

This is a great product with a lot of potential. It took a lot of trial and error to find the right combination to set up, but once I did it worked really well! Unfortunately, my 98-year-old mother has both memory and vision problems. I figured the different button shapes would help her find the right one (and I figured I could call her and tell her to try the star channel, for example). Unfortunately, she can't distinguish shapes well enough with her fingers. And the odd layout isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Remote Controls and Accessories
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Great for Elderly

I have an elderly relative who suffers from confusion and is unable to perform relatively simple things like dialing a phone number. The regular remote just confuses her and takes her into areas of menus and settings I didn't even know I had. This "Weemote" is beautiful. Originally developed for young children learning how to use a TV, its ease of use and simple function makes it ideal for adults who are no longer able to use complex remote controls. I've set her channel guide to only show theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Remote Controls
Cons
  • Weak
