It’s hard to know when your senior is feeling isolated, especially when you can’t check in as often as you’d like.

The RAZ Memory Cell Phone’s Loneliness Alerts help reduce loneliness by letting you set a goal for how many calls your senior should participate in within a certain timeframe. If that goal isn’t met, you’ll be informed by text message, so you can step in and reconnect or remind family and friends to do so.

For our loved ones with advancing brain changes, they are losing their agency.

What is happening with them? The area that stores short-term memory is shrinking and developing holes. There is no space available for new memories. They can’t remember they just ate dinner or that we’ve told them 12 times already we are going to a doctor’s appointment or where they left their keys.

They operate on emotion-related memories. We are their safe anchor. They look to us for guidance. When we make them feel good, they remember the feeling and associate us with love and safety. When we make them feel bad, they remember those feelings and respond in kind.

The “Do you remember” or “Don’t you remember” questions are the hardest habit to break. So how do we do it?

➡️ Take a deep breath or two or five
➡️ Give yourself a moment to process and calm your emotions
➡️ Body language matters. Smile, whether you feel like it or not. It will keep them calm
➡️ Redirect or distract them by using tools to empower them

Consider this tool for the day’s frequently asked question (FAQ): place a white wipe board where they can see it. Outline the board with bright red or yellow or lime green masking tape to get their attention.

💡 Pro Tip: Change the tape color every two weeks.

Using black markers, write down the day, date, and any activities planned for that day. Leave a space for the FAQ.

The first time they ask a question, giggle while answering the question. The second time they ask, laugh with them, answer the question and write in on the board so “we both can remember.” The next time they ask, tell them you are busy or forgot and could they read it off the board.

The boost in finding the answer for you both will return their agency to them. The emotionally related memory will help them find their own answers and perhaps give you a break.

When in the car, do the same thing with a canary note pad. Ask them to hold it because you are driving. They are now your co-pilot.

Tools will change as their brain changes. Experiment to see what works best for both of you.

For seniors with cognitive decline, low vision, hand tremors or anyone who’s tech averse, a busy smartphone screen can feel impossible to use.
The RAZ Memory Cell Phone keeps the interface simple and easy to recognize:

➡️ Six large picture contacts per screen
➡️ An optional emergency button
➡️ A clear status bar with time and battery

Everything is optional. Caregivers choose what is available for their senior through the RAZ Care app, including texting, keypad access, voicemail, and more.

Some important calls can come from numbers you don’t want to save as contacts your senior can call — like a doctor’s office, a clinic, or a pharmacy.

With the RAZ Memory Cell Phone, you can eliminate scams and robocalls, and still allow certain trusted numbers through using an allow list. That means your senior can receive the calls that matter, without opening the door to unwanted callers.

Automated phone systems can be overwhelming for seniors.
Some can navigate menus that ask them to press numbers during calls, while others find those prompts confusing, especially when they are experiencing cognitive decline.

With the RAZ Memory Cell Phone, the in-call keypad is optional. You can enable it if your senior can use it, or keep it disabled if it creates stress or mistakes.

Caregivers manage this and other settings remotely through the RAZ Care app. Learn more: tinyurl.com/3yz8s3c8

When a senior with dementia is anxious or upset, it’s tempting to correct them right away.
“No, that didn’t happen.” “You already ate.” “Your purse is right there.”

But in the moment, facts usually don’t help. They can make your senior feel challenged, which often escalates the stress.
Instead, try slowing it down:

➡️ Lower your voice and speak more slowly
➡️ Use fewer words, not more explanations
➡️ Move calmly and avoid rushing hands or quick gestures
➡️ Offer one simple reassurance, then redirect the conversation

A calmer rhythm often works better than the perfect answer. It helps your senior feel safe first, and everything gets easier from there.

Voicemail can be confusing for seniors with dementia. But some family caregivers may still want it available.

Just like every feature on the RAZ Memory Cell Phone, voicemail access is optional. You can choose to show it on the home screen or not, based on what works best for your senior.

Typing on a tiny keyboard can be frustrating for seniors, leading to mistakes or simply giving up messaging.

Texting on the RAZ Memory Cell Phone is designed to be easy, with large text, big buttons, and a Super Simple keyboard option. When the Super Simple keyboard is enabled, your senior can use speech-to-text to dictate messages instead of typing.

In the RAZ Care app, you can choose the keyboard and text size, and decide who can text your senior and whom they can text.
