I'm seriously thinking about having one put in at my mom's. She has a terrible habit of ignoring (or simply not hearing) her cell phone

and not picking up when someone calls.

My hope is a land line with a loud ringer would be a better solution.

Incredibly frustrating when you have a 75 yo mother who has issues with falling down.

My mom accidentally turns off the volume on her cell. She has similar issue as your mom so I'm fine with her getting a home phone. - Krusty Jul 31, 06:46 3
- she also had completely turned off sound on her cell at one point because the notifications where 'bothering her'. - decline Jul 31, 06:54 1

Might be worth looking at the Amazon Echo Connect. It can tie a landline into Amazon devices which could be all over the house -- nm - oblique Jul 31, 06:44 2
- yeah. I got her a google home she can use to call out but realized that doesn't do me any good checking on her -- nm - decline Jul 31, 06:52 1
  - Amazon has a "drop in" feature that you can use to initiate talking through them like an intercom. I'm actually really impressed with all the options - oblique Jul 31, 06:55
Well my dad is fine with his cell phone. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 06:42
