Some older people can be quite ornery and set in their ways. My
father-in-law was that way at first, but he came around at the end and
accepted assistance. Good luck to you in your efforts.

My Gran is not a very receptive person, she never was but I respect
that and understand why. At this time we are not set up as maybe you
may be and I wish not to leave her alone without some form of
assistance should she need help when I am not home. I pay for help at
the moment but that will only be for a short time. All things are not
in place at this time and I feel more secure knowing she can reach
me. Please understand, I am pressured to have some form of continuity
and safety and having a phone would be number one priority. I am
reaching out to this community for any form of help it may offer. I
hope this explanation will help?
thank you ,

May I ask why? If she’s happy without a phone, she doesn’t need to
use one.
If she wants BARD books she can get them on cartridges and NLS
provides players so no need for a phone.
What all does she want to do with the phone that can’t be
accomplished by other means?
Would an Alexa be easier for her?
I think I’m stuck on what you want, what your grandma wants and
why the phone is so important?

Everything is completely new to her, yes. And me as well as it
pertains to the blind community. As far as I am aware, computers
are not her thing. She is aware of them but through me only. I
have never been in this position to teach anyone anything but I am
not afraid of constructive criticism and hard work. She will be a
challenge that is for sure. We are starting from scratch and she
refuses at this point to let someone help her. I know this is her
denial stage but if I can get her to just pick up the darn phone
it's a start.

Are you sighted trying to help your almost blind Grandmother

technology?
Has she been using a smartphone and computers when she could
still see and has an understanding abut basic concepts or
would it be completely new to her? Knowing this would probably
help a lot when somebody tried to help out.
