Finding a cell phone for you or an elderly family member or friend can be difficult. Cell phones (while extremely helpful) can sometimes get in the way of what you really need from a phone. The ability to communicate! A cell phone that helps seniors stay in touch with their loved ones is extremely important. But you have to make sure you have the right one.

Whether you need a phone with accessibility features, some type of tracking system, or just don’t want any extra apps or features. Optimum lists the best cell phones for seniors, so they’re always able to stay in touch.

When deciding what kind of phone to buy for your loved one you'll want to consider a few things. They'll need a phone that has accommodating and accessible features and is user-friendly.

Here are a few features to consider in your phone search:

• Safety capabilities - Cell phones are great resources in keeping users safe and in touch with their loved ones. Certain phones offer tracking so that family members can keep an eye on those with dementia or Alzheimer’s. Phones also come with an emergency button that can call an emergency contact or 911 if someone requires assistance.
• Accessibility features - Some cell phones have small screens and tiny keys, making it difficult for users to work the phone. Phones for seniors have features that make them easier to use. Easy phones for seniors come with the ability to increase the font size and larger buttons to be able to see the phone easier. Voice-to-text features are available to text your loved ones without having to type it out. And phones for hearing impaired seniors have the ability to connect with their hearing aid.
