Oricom CARE80

I bought this phone for my mum who suffers from early onset Alzheimer’s dementia. She constantly loses her address book and doesn’t call people because she can’t remember their number (even if it’s written next to the phone). So the photos really make a difference. I plan to swap one photo and number out every month or so to enable her to phone people she hasn’t spoken to in a while. An unexpected feature was the adjustable ringer volume.

Quick response to order. Easy to set up and worked well with the NBN connection. User [older person] reported it was much clearer to hear. I appreciated the picture buttons to assist older and disabled relatives.

The model we have is a little smaller in size to the one we have had previously. The flashing red light when the phone rings is very helpful, as with all the other technology in the house, you can pinpoint which phone is ringing. The adjustable sound, volume etc can be altered easily to suit my husband and myself. I think us purchasing another Oricom phone says for itself that we were more than happy with the product.

Bought the phone for my mum cause she's hard of hearing and finds it hard to hear the call, now with the phone it makes it more enjoyable to be on the phone

I got this for my mum, who is in a nursing home, she has limited vision and limited movement with her hands. This phone is perfect for her. It gave her some independence back and she's able to call her friends and family again.

Photos of people my parents ring often will be much easier for them. At 88 and 92 phone calls are a bit more difficult these days. Flashing light is good too.

A speaker phone option would improve it. Also, the 6 x 1-touch memory dial buttons are quite flimsy and come off easily. The picture and name on the 1-touch dial buttons works well for my mum who has Alzheimer’s.

Bought for my grandmother who finds it to difficult to hear on mobile and the regular home phone. With the help of the boost button she can actually have a full conversation with family in Scotland again! Would deffinitley recommend if you were considering.

Wonderful phone where i can press a button and ring the person I need to. I was unable to use a mobile efficiently so this has been a Godsend. Thank you.

We wanted a phone that our four year old could use easy in an emergency... and could use in a controlled manner to call love ones (ie grandparents etc) ... this may not be the intended purpose for this phone, but it is perfect for our needs.

easy phone for my elderly father to use as he just pushes buttons. phone has a nice loud ring as well as lighting up when it rings. Great idea to have photos instead of names on the preset numbers

The purchase of this phone has enabled my 92 year old mother to once again be able to communicate with her family a lot easier than with her previous phone.

My wife has a pacemaker and can only hear from her left ear, so this phone is ideal for that situation, since the care 80 phone does not interfere with pacemakers, and the 'Boost' is also very handy. Perfect phone.
When asked which store I purchased, you have to choose from a supplied list. When I entered "On line direct from Oricom, it was removed, why, I don't know.

The phone works well. Connects to nbn easy. Essy to use. Clear hearing and connect to a hearing aid. I wish it had a speakerphone. But the biggest plus is oricom support. Australia based company with Australia based support. Very fast response. Company goes above and beyond to help anyway they can. Ordered online directly from oricom. Fast delivery. So easy to use for my elderly parents. Programming numbers in is easy.

My mother has dementia and this phone has really helped, she can just push on our photos to call us. It also is ideal for her hearing impairment. We are very happy with our purchase.
