    Easy to press call system

    Hi all, I recently purchased a wireless doorbell that rings upstairs so my father could call us when in need. It has become increasingly hard for him to press the button. Does anyone know if there are “easy to press” call systems available? Keep in mind I am in Toronto, Canada.

    Is there a rhyme or reason?

    Hi Laurie, Always grateful for your response. He does have bipap and it doesn’t help that he also has echolasia which doesn’t help with his eating.
