What happens if someone is too ill to continue using the phone?

Chatsie started because our Founder’s mother was diagnosed with dementia and he wanted to build a simpler phone for them to communicate on. We do appreciate however, there comes a point where even a simple smartphone won’t be the right solution for your loved one, either because of their cognitive decline, or something else.

Call and/or email us (02045240751 / hello@chatsie.com) if this happens - we’re here to make your life simpler, not harder.
