Why We Love This Deal: Many people have expressed disinterest with inviting another device into their home that does everything our smart phones can do, but for those with unique needs, Amazon’s Echo Show can quite literally be a lifesaver. One reviewer writes of his mother with dementia, “I thought I’d try setting a Show next to her rocking chair. I can now “Drop-in” on her every day and share some face time with her, visit with her grand daughter, see the dog whom she LOVES, and just make her smile. The beauty is that there is no interaction needed on her end, the Caregivers and my Mom love this setup. The fact that I can use my phone from anywhere and actually see and talk to Mom, and show her things is hugely entertaining and comforting for Mom, and everyone in the family.”
