Description
The RAZ Memory Cell Phone is a simple cell phone for individuals with Alzheimer’s, other forms of dementia and intellectual disabilities. The phone allows people with disabilities to stay connected with friends and family.
The single-touch dial picture phone prioritizes simplicity. It includes only one screen. This single screen includes three elements:
- Photos and names of up to six contacts (with an option for up to twenty-four);
- A dedicated button to contact 911;
- Alternative RAZ Emergency Service to avoid unwanted 911 calls (requires subscription);
- The time, remaining battery power and and signal strength.
Six contacts are displayed as pictures with the names below the pictures. Optionally, up to twenty-four contacts can be shown. Pressing a picture will start a call. The cell phone also includes a dedicated 911 Emergency button.
The display, which is a large 6.2 inches, does not time out. It always remains on. At your option, incoming calls can be restricted to those coming from Contacts, eliminating undesirable predatory calls.
Contacts, including names, pictures and numbers, can be managed through an easy-to-use online portal. Caregivers can also access from the portal GPS location information.
The picture phone does not exit the home screen. This prevents users from getting confused in the normal smartphone environment. Even the power button can be disabled by the caregiver.
Voicemail cannot be accessed.
Wireless Charging Set available.

I have been looking for a phone that would not confuse my Mother with her dementia. I have not found a phone that would work for her until I found this one. Having the ability to set up and control the phone from the caregiver portal has greatly reduced the time I have to spend dealing with phone issues. My Mother lets me know if she needs to add a number to her list and I can do the from anywhere without having to physically change it on her phone. I also like being able to check the battery level from the portal adn let her know if she needs to charger her phone if she forgets. No more assuming the phone is just dead. The GPS feature also gives me peace of mind to know were she is or if her phone was left somewhere. This is a great solution if you are looking for a phone for your family member with dementia.

I can’t thank you enough for working me to get the phone up & running for my mom. She’s starting to adjust to using it. This phone will help her as she gets flustered with all the options even on a basic cell phone.

I am so grateful for this phone & the wonderful support staff that helped me with my questions & missteps. Tried out the phone with family members & are anxious to give it to her on Monday, her 92nd birthday. This will be a godsend for her to be able to communicate with her family during these difficult times. Usually there are only 5 stars but would give 10! Thank you for making this a very bright moment. Thank you again.
