What is an adaptive house phone?

An adaptive house phone has larger buttons, brighter display, volume control, and pre-settings that can make remembering and accessing the numbers you use often easier.

Most models have settings like speakerphone, so you don't have to hold the phone while you speak and visual indicators when the phone is ringing if you have hearing difficulties.

An adaptive house phone can make staying in contact with friends and family easier and is great if you have low vision, hearing difficulties, arthritis, upper limb weakness, pain, or fatigue.
