We bought this for an elderly relative who is in the early stages of Dementia and was struggling with the remote control for her television. Now she manages it very well with this new one.

I bought the flipper for my dad who has Alzeimers and dementia. It arrived promptly and is very easy to use. The user manual could do with being clearer as it took me a while to set it up.

We have a disabled child with limited movement and was never able to change channels himself ,this remote has been a godsend for us it worked straight out of the box and is so easy to programme,it's given him a little more independence and he took to it immediatley

I was looking for a simple remote control so my Mother could change the channel on her TV without causing havoc. Before purchasing I e-mailed AlzProducts to see if the item I was considering would be compatible. I could not get that guarantee but was assured that I could return it with a full refund if it didn't work. It's not a cheap remote control so it gave me the confidence to make the order and give it a try. After it arrived I did have problems getting the remote to work but I e-mailed the company again and was given some other tips to try. It solved the problem and although Mum still needs some training the remote works just fine. I'm happy with the product and even happier with the customer service.

The remote control seems to do the job the only problem was the programming in the tv, the codes for the television did not match so I had to manually put it in which took a bit of time the rest of the programming was okay and it does what it says which I am pleased about it was bought for my Father as he is having problems seeing due to eye problems. Hopefully this will do the trick, up to now it seems he might be getting the hang off it

I ordered a simple TV remote control for a relative with dementia. It allows him far easier access to understanding channel chaging etc now and has improved his life. Communication with the company was excellent and the residential home where my relative lives is considering making orders for other residents.

Bought the TV Remote for my mother as current ones are far too confusing & once I had deleted all the unnecessary channels it is fool proof.
