📺 EasyMote Universal TV Remote Control - Big Button, Backlit, Smart Learning Technology, Designed for Elderly Care in Assisted Living. Black Remote Control for Television & Cable Box Review

The TV is now the most important thing in my mother's life with dementia. This remote saved my life. She has an LG TV and the remote worked right away. Didn't have to program. Haven't received a single call since she received this. I also bought a remote tracking device and strapped it to her back in case she lost it. All I need is for the senior center staff to push the button on the locator and that's it, it's found.

I recently ordered this for my 85 year old mother with dementia. Pros: I like the simple, large buttons and the attachment point/wrist strap that we can use to attach the controller to the bedside table (like bank pins) so it doesn't get lost. Cons: If I'm not wrong, it had to be programmed with another remote before using it. It only took 5-10 minutes but I was lucky to have a second remote control. Also keep in mind that the product could be improved by having the ON/OFF button in a different

My elderly mother-in-law visits us sometimes and has no way of dealing with a traditional remote control. And this remote control has large, backlit buttons that make it easy to use. I read how difficult it is to program this remote control; but i had no problems. I used the "Scan" method, not the "Learn" method. After about 20 presses of the "Channel+" button the unit was programmed (I knew this because the channel had changed) and then I pressed the mute button to lock it out. All buttons…

I bought this for our grandmother who is over 90 because she has vision problems. Along with the remote, I brought her a 40-inch Sharp TV. The Sharp TV works fine, but there are a lot of little buttons on the remote that Grandma can't see. EasyMote is very easy to set up, especially if you have the latest Sharp TV. TV models since the standard control code for Sharp Q3000 TVs. As a result, EasyMote works right out of the box. I've also tried the remote on other TVs, they all work with quick…

UPDATE: After writing this review my father's dementia was getting worse and worse 10 channels and used this remote control. It has worked wonders. Thank you for that, and if your loved one just needs to change the channel and volume, this is a good choice. Unfortunately, this remote didn't work well for my aging father with memory. Problems with not only not always turning on the TV and DirecTV receiver at the same time, but the simple fact that there were (obviously) no numbers, so it still…

**UPDATE 2/21/2019** - We 'field tested' this remote with a relative who has dementia and it WORKS BEAUTIFULLY. He can use the remote easily, it fits his TV perfectly, and he can't accidentally reprogram the TV! Also, using a small wrist strap that attaches to the remote, I was able to attach (secure) the remote to his recliner chair so it never gets lost. Best $15 I've Ever Spent! Bought for a relative who unfortunately has dementia and accidentally *reprogrammed* every TV with a standard…

So here's what I found during my training on this great little remote: The Comcast cable box (Xfinity) controls the actions for Channel change, so the ONLY search method programming This EasyMote could program these buttons. And other buttons could only be programmed by holding the Xfinity IR port at an angle and touching the EasyMote IR port. So let's get started: read and re-read the included instructions until you've almost memorized them. Then watch the manufacturer's two-minute video a few

My friend has dementia and is in the memory center. His illness has progressed so far that he can no longer remember how to use one remote control to turn the television on and off and the other to change the channel and adjust the volume. He just pushed the buttons on some remote control and tried to get something to work. I went to him and his TV (which he likes to watch) was off because he couldn't figure it out and none of the staff had the technical knowledge to take the time to fix it for

I don't often review products, but in this case I had to. Basically I bought this for my dad who is in his 80's with macular degeneration and memory issues. He has an old flat screen TV and a Comcast DTA (nothing special). Comcast's new remotes have a lot of buttons, and he kept hitting the wrong ones. This usually meant mixing audio and video. This remote control is basically bulletproof with a few buttons. It's easier for him to remember which button does what. When using this remote…
