I uploaded pictures for both of my parents (I ended up getting 2) and they have these digital picture frames by their bed and watch the pictures scroll on repeat. So, yes I think this would be ideal for your mother. The only thing I would suggest would be to buy a SD card so you have the option to upload a lot of pictures.

I think you will like this one. Once it is set up it can be changed but the controls on the back I don't think you mother would inadvertently do it. This digital fra,

This frame is easy to use once you read the instructions. I use it at work and have it automatically turn on at 8 am and turn off at 5pm. There are not a ton of instructions but programming it is not something that you can figure out without them.

This is exactly why I bought the frame. My Mom is 90 and has no desire to learn computers, but was feeling left out with all the kids and grand kids sharing photos all the time.Yes, you can set it up to log in to the frame from your device and add, delete, change settings, pretty much anything the frame can do you can manage remotely. You can set a time for the frame to come on and a time for it to go off. New photos automatically show on the frame. You can go in from time to time and delete old photos if you want, all remotely. So far so good with the Pix-Star. Kodak...not so much. This is exactly why I bought the frame.

this digital picture frame does not allow you to shuffle the display order ... it always displays the photos in the same order as saved to disk ... we have four digital picture frames now and this one is a very good value ... best regards, JR Curtis

Yes I think they are designed to allow you to do that. My mom didn't have any trouble using this product.

Yes it is a perfect tablet for your mother. Although I would recommend buying a MicroSD card to go with it as it has little memory for music. But it is a great internet tablet for facebook and email and it is extremely hard to break. I even did a 3 story drop test and the screen wasn't broken.

The frame does not come with any built in memory. You have to plug in an SD memory card to the frame. You can plug in large capacity cards, my mother is using a 32gb card in hers so depending on the size of the pictures you can get quite a few pictures on a card.

I sat on mine and tried looking out the window over the kitchen sink. I could see outside just fine in the distance, just not right below the window. Perhaps you should get her a high comfortable stool with a back instead. I hope your grandma enjoys ity.

Hello there Andrea. I am really not sure if the frame has that capability however what it can do is what I believe may be a "workaround." You have the ability to upload your photos onto an SD card. Those pictures are uploaded in the order you indicate such as folder names or dates etc. If your looking to display photos of Christmas you may do so either by photo name or date or random within the specified folder. That way you can play the holidays in order of year and even further filter by person/child. Now, what I do is something I have gotten quite a bit of feedback on. I have two children that I have taken on several trips all over the globe. I fly for a commercial airline so I have well in excess of 20k photos. I have them randomly playing from randomly chosen folders with random transition between photos. So literally you never see the same photo twice. All in all you have to remember, you are going to get out of your frame only what you are willing to put into it. Also, at this price point, you simply cannot beat the performance. One piece of advice, just when you think you have ordered the right size, go larger. I have quite a few now and truly the larger size frames are incredible. I hope this helps! Best and good luck!

my wife has alzheimers and is in a memory care unit. the box spring is sitting by the window. she says she is afraid of falling off the bed. she is comfortable with just the mattress and I agree the board under the mattress is enough. I don!t no about using both but it is no problem she has been using it for seven months that way.

I'm 69 and I am satisfied with the size of the screen. When I use this, I am not looking for great detail. I am using it as a sorting tool in preparation for digitizing the slides. Works great for that. If you are wanting to view details, this is probably not the viewer for you. Of note, I just sorted over 1000 slides and never had to change the batteries. Overall, I am very satisfied with this viewer.

My experience was with a mouse pad by my computer. I wanted the mouse pad not to move, and it hadn't. I would have no qualms about using it for pictures that I might want to move at some point in time.

THANKS!!!! My parents are in their 80s- So this probably isn't the best option. Appreciate your input!! :)

It closes the door at the next alarm time and then it has to be opened and everything works well.The problem with dementia people is that they take the pills out of the machine but then forget what to do with them. This is the problem that I am now having with my parent. I have made big signs. What we really need is a fancier machine that would give voice instructions step by step. Very sad to see a parent like this.

Caroline: I have only did slides (126), quality is not the greatest. Ok for saving purposes but, Would recommend better quality $$devise. (it matches the cost) It think it will scan any thing, place neg. for optimum view.frame determines what shows.

Navigating through the music files is simple for me. However, this mp3 player is a touchscreen, so it depends if the elderly person's hands quiver too much.

Sorry about the timing of my reply... but I would say for your situation you would be fine. You could manage the frame remotely as you described and your mother would not need a computer in her home. As long as there's wi-fi access you're good.
