In Norfolk, 83-year-old Michael was diagnosed with dementia in 2023.
As a former mechanical engineer, he was happy to trial the new technology and so his daughter, Tina Cleveland, signed up for him to have it in his home in Gorleston-on-Sea.
“It was a no-brainer for me,” said Mrs Cleveland.
“The fact it doesn’t need wi-fi was great for us because dad doesn’t have any, but it was also important to have no cameras.
“I don’t want dad to feel uncomfortable.”
Michael felt the loss of independence when he stopped driving, and wants to look after himself for as long as possible.
He needs labels on the cupboards to remind him what is inside but, with the support of his daughters, is managing in his own home.
“I want to continue as we are, because I’m happy,” he said.
