They want to age at home
75% of people aged 50-plus would like to age at home. Of course, we all feel more comfortable in our own space and with our own routines.
You can't always be there
Between work and your own family, it’s not always possible to be there every moment. Schedules don’t always align, and even short gaps in support can add up.

DianeMy mother is delighted with the clock, it puts her back in time quickly. What's more, we send messages with photos on a regular basis. It's the message function we prefer, and we get a reply when she's read the message.
LucieI'm completely satisfied. My mother, who has the onset of dementia, is able to read and execute the tasks I've programmed, and the simplicity of the dial doesn't cause her any trouble!
