She was thrilled!Īs my Mom laid in her bed 3 days before her death my brother offered to show her the pictures on the View Clix but somehow he had disconnected it. One of Mom’s grand children was being married and she could not attend so we found a way to add pictures in almost real time. So I began putting very old pictures of her family, relatives, and events on and she would even tell me stories of her life and about the relatives. But as Mom’s hearing got worse we found she enjoyed the pictures I was adding as much as the calls. The unit worked perfectly after we had WI-FI installed in the old farmhouse. I was delighted to find the View Clix with a large screen and no hands on operation for Mom. With my Mom turning 99 and Covid keeping her from her Friday Lunch Bunch, DAR meetings, and weekly hair appointments I was anxious to find a way to see and communicate with her. I want to spread this positive review so that other families looking for an easy, affordable way to keep in visual touch with a loved one, can do so. My mother does not have to push any buttons to be able to connect with us, or get messages, or see pictures we send. We wanted her to have zero worries or anxiety with this device.
Simple is best, as she gets very confused. Other options may be great for some users, but not for my mother. What I really love is that there are no monthly mandatory fees, like many other elderly devices. She has learned to check it each day.Īlso, your customer service was spot on! As soon as we reached out about a fuzzy connection problem, you troubleshooted the issue immediately. We send her Post Its each morning telling her what her day will be like, who is coming to visit, and any other important info. We love being able to visually check in on her each day. It has made being connected to our elderly mother, who has dementia, so incredibly easy. We have been using this device (got the big one) for 10 months now. I also enjoy being able to remotely put notes on the device with reminders for when I'm arriving to drive them to appointments etc. The sleep timer is great so the device shuts off and turns on automatically per my settings. They REALLY enjoy the different picture albums that we set up remotely which I switch around to keep it fresh.
I can see without driving over and go ahead and make a Dr. It is so nice to be able to see them and any new concerns like swollen feet or weird rash. Literally the only way they can mess it up is to unplug it. I have the remote hidden at their house as one of my parents can't keep their hands off things. (getting private duty help to go to their house 3 different times each day would be soooo expensive!) Viewclix is the only device that has drop in video calling that does not require any action on my parents part. We have it set up in the kitchen where the meds are and being able to watch that they are getting pills out of the correct compartment is critical. Viewclix is our lifeline to keeping my parents at their house as we use Viewclix three times a day to talk them through and watch them take their medications. Every person with a relative in a different location should give them a ViewClix to keep them involved in their lives. Bravo ViewClix for devising a device that only requires technical expertise on the side of the video and photo provider and not by the receiver. This happens frequently by many of her children and grandchildren keeping her updated on what they are doing when they are doing it. It also allows the uploading of photos directly into her photo stream slide show in real time without her having to do anything.

Something like FaceTime requires a person to know how to use a smart phone but ViewClix simply shows her our live video feed whenever we login to her device and the whole family can do it. And to accommodate her modesty we have covered the camera on the ViewClix device so she feels comfortable having live video from us without having to get dressed or fixed up. No matter where we are, on the top of a mountain, at the shore, on the water, when the sun is setting, hiking or at an outstanding venue we can share it with her through live video without her having to know how to log on or even turn on a device. She has been able to continue traveling with us after it was not easy for her to do. It is not possible to overstate the impact ViewClix has had on my Mother's life.
