Description
The award-winning RAZ Memory Cell Phone is an easy-to-use, groundbreaking cell phone for people with memory loss, dementia, Alzheimer’s, stroke, low vision, Parkinson’s or seniors who prefer an intuitive experience. The phone consists of one primary screen and one screen only. It allows seniors to stay connected with friends and family through regular telephone calls or video calls and allows the caregiver to manage the phone from afar.
The single screen includes three elements:
- Photos and names of up to fifty contacts with six large icons per page;
- An optional 911 button or the alternative RAZ Emergency Service subscription;
- Optional information such as date & time, day of the week, battery power and signal strength.
The RAZ Memory Cell 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.
The display, which is a large 6.5 inches, does not time out. It can remain always-on or go dark after 2 minutes and wake up with movement. At your option, incoming calls can be restricted to those coming from Contacts, eliminating undesirable predatory calls.
With a relentless focus on being extremely intuitive and easy to use, the RAZ Memory Cell Phone requires only a simple tap to place and answer calls. The caregiver also has the option to adapt the call activation method to the option that best suits their senior’s needs and ability.
Remote Manage provides caregivers the unprecedented ability to remotely control ALL aspects of their senior’s cell phone through a simple app. Create and edit contacts, manage settings, access the phone information and much more from your own smartphone (iPhone or Android).
Key features:
Phone calls: Place and answer calls with a simple tap allowing the senior to stay connected with friends and family. The caregiver can manage the contacts with the RAZ Care app.
Block unwanted incoming calls: Avoid scams and robocalls with this essential feature that allows incoming calls only from contacts, enhancing your senior’s safety.
Video calls: Stay connected with your senior effortlessly. Only approved contacts can video call the Memory Phone user.
Press & hold buttons: The caregiver can choose between different press & hold methods to prevent unwanted calls. And we have added an extra layer of safety with the call confirmation screen.
Settings are disabled for the user: ALL the settings including the volume rocker are remotely managed by the caregiver through the RAZ Care app. Caregivers can even disable the power button to avoid the phone to be accidentally turned off. This means peace of mind for the caregiver and safety for the senior.
Reminders: From your own smartphone, you can send your senior reminders about medicines, appointments or important events and see if they were acknowledged. Reminder colors and font size can be customized through the RAZ Care app.
Quiet hours: Prevent your senior with dementia from calling specified contacts during certain hours of the day or in the middle of the night.
Loneliness alerts: Reduce loneliness! Receive an alert when the user does not participate in the desired number of calls.
Manage battery charging: The RAZ Memory Cell Phone provides four key charging features. Seniors can get reminders to charge the phone and will receive visual & audible confirmation when the phone is connected to the charger. Caregivers can track the remaining battery power and charging status in the RAZ Care app and receive text alerts when the battery is low.
Location tracking & Status check: With the RAZ Care app, caregivers can get peace of mind by checking the real-time status of their senior’s phone, as well as its location.
Calling emergency services: Control how users can call emergency services. Three options are available, including an option for a 911 emergency button that is always within reach for your senior’s safety.
RAZ Emergency Service: With the RAZ Emergency Service, every emergency call is routed to a private dispatch agent who assesses the situation and contacts 911 if necessary.
Calls can go automatically to Speaker mode: With this option, seniors can hear calls clearly. The RAZ Memory Cell Phone’s speaker’s loudness can reach up to 125.6dB!
Calls can be answered automatically: With the Auto-answer option, incoming calls from contacts will be answered automatically and the call will be on speaker.
Low Vision and Hand Tremor mode: An even simpler interface with super-larger icons, less contacts per page and bigger buttons. The ideal mode for those with low vision, Parkinson’s, hand tremor and others.
Wireless charging: The wireless charging set (sold separately) allows the user to easily charge the phone by placing it on the wireless charging stand or pad without the hassle of plugging in the charging cable.
Free updates: We are always looking to improve our products to make seniors’ and caregivers’ lives easier. When we launch new updates to the RAZ Memory Cell Phone, our customers get 100% free access to them.
Enhance your senior’s safety with our solutions
RAZ Emergency Service: With this subscription-based service, emergency calls are connected to a highly trained agent to help the senior through their problem. The agent will have access to the senior’s location and other helpful information provided by the caregiver. Text messages will be sent to emergency contacts, providing the opportunity to interact directly with the agent to assess the nature of the emergency and provide input. The RAZ Emergency Service helps avoid up to 95% of unnecessary emergency calls.
RAZ Alert: Respond more quickly to your senior’s emergencies. When your senior calls 911, receive a text message alerting you to the call. Up to 3 people can receive the 911 text message alert. There’s no additional cost for this feature.
Auto Answer: If your senior is not answering the phone and you believe that they might be experiencing an emergency, you can activate the Auto Answer feature in the RAZ Care app. When you call, the RAZ Memory Cell Phone will answer automatically after 4 or 5 rings and go to speakerphone. This is a great safety feature if your senior has fallen, for example, and can’t get to the phone! There’s no additional cost for this feature.

This phone is just what we needed for my parents who are 90 and 91. They are in assisted living with no land line and could not make calls or even answer their cell phone. Now they can call me when they need to. I love being able to control the phone through the app and no more 6 am phone calls because my dad was fiddling with the phone. Setup was simple and customer support was quick and very helpful. Staff at the assisted living said many families are going to want this phone and they were trying to get brochures to pass along.

This Raz phone has been a godsend! The features are on point! The auto answer, ability to make a call by touching a photo, and the incoming call restrictions eliminating spam calls, and the lack of unneeded apps make this the perfect phone for my 93 year old mother. Thank you for creating this basic phone!!

We got this for my 92 year old mom with MD. Her vision is very poor. She was so excited how large the names were. She can actually see them without her magnifying glass. We got the case in orange so she doesn’t accidentally hit any buttons and can see the bright orange. Works great. We also got the charging pad so she doesn’t have to try to plug in a charger. Worth the little extra cost. We are very pleased with the whole system.

My 96 year old mother has successfully talked to me on this phone! More than once! She removed the batteries of her last flip phone and left them hanging out in an attempt to figure out how to use it. The Raz Memory phone allows us to communicate again from 500 miles apart. The best feature for us is automatic answering. After two rings, the phone answers and I just start talking … if she is near the phone she replies and we chat. If not, I call again later. She hasn’t called me yet in real life but she made many practice calls successfully while I was teaching her how to use it. I’m happy with the phone and I’m glad I bought it. Things to Improve: video call quality is glitchy and my mom found it hard to hold the phone where I could see her on camera. We are sticking to voice calls only for now. Another thing that would be nice: allow Quiet Hours to be different for each contact. We all have different hours when we would like to not be disturbed so it would be great if the quiet hours were customizable. Overall, a very helpful device for people with memory and cognitive deficits.

This phone is genius. It was easy to set up. Swap sim cards, install the app on our smartphone, have family send you selfies, upload and off you go. Amazingly easy. The one drawback is that while picking up the phone my mother would accidentally make calls. Which is OK until I found the quiet hours feature. SMS text support was prompt and helpful.

Easy to use. Care giver gets timely information ie: reminder phone needs charging.

Kudos to the designers of this phone and software who really thought about the cognitive skills of the user. It’s a superb, almost fool-proof design, and it’s amazing to me that Google and Apple don’t offer versions of the OS with similar features. But, until they do, this is an excellent product from people who treat memory and cognitively challenged people as their main focus.

Mom is 100 and lives in an area where her home phone goes out often. Cell phone is essential. 2 other “senior” or “dementia” phones failed because she couldn’t work them. She can work the Raz phone. She says she doesn’t know what she’s doing, but somehow still manages to make and receive calls because the Raz is so intuitive.
Also the support team has been absolutely phenomenal in answering questions and helping with phone set up.

This phone is great. I highly recommend getting the case, my Mother when holding it would be touching the screen which made it difficult for her to tap the names. The case made it so her hands were not touching the screen.
