The Flipper Big Button Remote for Seniors is an easy to use universal television remote control and Daily Living Aids with oversized, tactile buttons. This item has a simple design that excludes any frivolous buttons that might confuse users. This can be especially helpful to users with memory-loss. The large buttons on this remote are easy to see and to press. In addition to these features, this device includes an option to program up to thirty of the user's favorite television channels. This means users won't waste time flipping through every channel, which can be a long, superfluous process, but can instead flip through a select few to get to a favorite show faster. In addition, an automatic searching feature is included. Finally, buttons can be locked so users don't frustratingly change settings on accident.
The Flipper TV Remote has a sleek and modern design that makes it easy and comfortable to grip. It is also very simple to program and even easier to use. Conveniently, the Flipper universal remote allows users to use a single remote for TV, cable or satellite television.
Who Will Find the Big Button Product Useful?
This universal remote control was specially created for users with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. This is because regular television remotes can be difficult, confusing, and frustrating even for users without users with memory loss to use. Because this remote has just a few, select, oversized buttons, an automatic searching feature, and favorite-channel programming, users with memory loss will find this remote's simple design inviting and stress-relieving. In addition, this item's optional locking feature will prevent users from accidentally reprogramming the item.
This item is also a perfect Vision Aid for users with vision loss. The large buttons on this remote are much easier to make out than buttons on standard-sized television remotes.
Truly, anyone who wants a more efficient and simple remote control will be delighted to receive the gift of the Flipper TV remote control. This remote is a great option for most anyone who wants a sleek and straightforward remote for effortless use at home, the office, or anywhere else it may be needed.
