Digital photo frames enable patients with limited movement to enjoy many photographs

Digital photo frames enable patients to enjoy lots of photographs at one time. They can be especially useful for patients who are unable to turn the pages of an album.

Though many patients have gained great pleasure from these frames, a few may be confused by the ever-changing images. Check with staff before you plug it in!

Also, if you want to bring one into a hospital or Care Home, you may need to get it tested (portable appliance tested) by a trained member of staff before you can use it.

My sister made one for my mother who was unable to speak or move following a brain haemorrhage. We put it in her eye-line each night when the lights went out. She would stare at it for ages and appeared to gain great comfort from it. As it also cast a dim light, we believed she also felt less isolated in the darkness.
