@mothninja she also used google-nest. She was very interested in the world and she could let Google explain everything she wanted to know. She also used it to play all her favourite music.

She lived on her own till the end, but she could no longer operate her induction hob, since she couldn't see the tests. We had the small see-through stickers that you use to protect walls from doorknobs and we sticked one just under the on-off button, so she could feel where it was.
@mothninja my mother in law had severe macula degeneration. We lost her last year when she was almost 102 years old. Things that helped: she used a Walker. My husband stickered it with red/white striped tape so it would resemble a walking stick for the blind. She couldn't recognise people anymore and people didn't realise that she was practically blind. She would always tell people "I cannot recognise you, please tell me your name". We had a button made with that text.
