Maybe you could look into getting her an amazon echo or a google home.

With the echo you can drop in, if you have one, and that will allow you to talk to her if you need to and she can’t get to the phone.

Get the Google Home Max if possible. It's the best smart speaker on the market.

Hi, knowing in which country and what language you speak may be helpful. If you were in the U.S. my recommendation would be to contact a program called I Can Connect, as its for deafblind people.

You are doing a great job for your Aunt. I'm so sorry to hear about your condition and that it's deteriorating. You're doing all the right thing.


Do you have deaf-blind organizations in your country? A big focus is on making sure she always has the skills to communicate, that fits her current vision and hearing ability.
