Love this phone
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.

Perfect for my elderly mother.
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.

Perfect for Aged Care
We paired this phone with a 3G / 4G LTE dialer (available elsewhere) for my Mother in Law who lives in a Aged Care home and where landlines cant be organised into the rooms and works great giving the simple functionality of a traditional phone but without a landline, particularly with restrictions on visiting Nursing homes during Covid19. The phone has a nice solid feel to it and the handset good size which the elderly are more used to as the problem we had with using a mobile was it not being always held to the ear properly and therefore could...Read more
not hear us properly. With the boost button, it also simply boosts the audio if needed. The 6 easy push buttons now makes it a lot easier for her to call family compared to the Mobile she had. Highly recommend this phone along with the cordless phone we also bought and positioned at the other end of the room for easy answering of a call and connected to the 2nd port of the 4G dialer.Purchased in August 2020 for $149.00.

Bought it for my mother
Purchased the phone so my mother could hear the ringer and hear when talking . The volume is great but the ringer is not loud enough even on high . I have had to add on another box that amplifies the ringer.

It’s ok
Does what’s required from a phone for the elderly. Dad’s happy enough to use it for taking or making calls. It works better for his room where as mobile reception isn’t very good.

Great for elderly
Got this for my 91 year old mother who has bad vision and hearing. She is able to quickly call the 6 displayed numbers and turn up the sound on the separate handset to hear a lot better.
She is much happier to have this and some independance while still living at home.

Excellent product at a very reasonable price.
Easy to install, good clean looking unit with volume control which helps with my husband's serious hearing disability. This is the second unit purchased and I would recommend them for anyone with hearing problems.

Excellent for elderly
This phone was purchased for an elderly relative suffering from dementia who could no longer manage a cordless phone. As it is more like an old fashioned phone without multiple functions and buttons to press she could easily use the phone to both call out and receive calls. I programmed the 6 essential numbers she needed and from there it was great. It has been a godsend for her and for the family.

My elderly mother finds this very easy to use
I bought this for my mother as she is 90, extremely deaf and very easily confused with technology. So far she has found the phone easy to use and when I talk to her she no longer asks me to repeat myself constantly like she does with the other phones in the house. She currently still has a landline phone service so I am hoping once I move her onto the nbn, this phone will be just as clear for her when using the VOIP service she will need to use then. She can easily change the volume and really likes the Boost button. My sister has setup the Memory buttons for her which she can work well. I am very pleased we bought this phone and would recommend it to others with hearing and cognitive issues.

92 yo Mum almost deaf almost blind, this seems to help her
My 92 yo Mum is almost deaf and almost blind, this phone seems to help her. There is no answer machine to confuse her, she can just make out the images for speed dial and the volume on max helps

Excellent product
I bought this phone after I had a bad accident, and it’s primarily for my mother who has Alzheimer’s and can’t cope with the phone. The photographs make it easy for her to recognise who she’s calling and will be vital in an emergency such as we’ve just had. It’s a great phone, easy to set up and very effective.

A simple idea with a great impact
Purchased for 97 year old who has hearing, vision and cognitive issues, and reported feeling isolated as he couldn't work the phone any more. HIs previous Oricom phone had very small speed dials under the handset, which he could no longer see or feel. We kept thing visually simple by placing a large black letter on 2 of the buttons to signify the first name initials of two family members. We also set speed dials on the remaining buttons, which we left blank, so that no matter which button he pushed he would reach us. We needed to practice pressing the letters and using the phone for a couple of weeks before he got the hang of it.

Good Phone!
Easy to use. Instruction manual could better explain how to remove photo button covers and provide a template for printing up photos/names. Memory time of programming when disconnected from power would also be a useful inclusion in specifications. Otherwise good phone for elderly and reasonably priced.

Excellent!
I bought the Oricom CARE80 for my elderly mother (96yo) who was unable to communicate effectively using her old phone. The Oricom exceeded our expectations with my mother now able to hear the phone ringing and hear callers clearly. The phone is so easy to use and it took little effort for her to master the various features of the phone. The boost function is particularly useful. I have no hesitation in recommending the phone to anyone with moderate to severe hearing difficulties.

Good device
Good device - purchased for my dad who has a hearing impairment. The ring tone could be louder, but I'm glad my dad can speak more comfortably on the phone now with the 'boost' volume function.

Great so far
I iñstalled the phone for my Dad who is 98 and in a nursing home. Due to his poor eye sight and hearing, he likes the features particularly the sound boost and large one touch dialing keys with images. So far so good.
