Caregiver Tools
A call blocker before you have to kill the landline

The scam calls don't wait for a diagnosis letter. Mom answers "IRS," "Medicare," or a grandson who needs bail money. You find the checkbook short. Or she already sent gift cards. Or the landline rings so much she can't tell real calls from the rest.
A call blocker is a caregiver install — you buy it, you set the allow/block list, you keep the remote. It is not a gift for your parent to research and order. It is how you cut off the strangers before you have to rip the landline out of the wall and lose the doctor, church, and neighbor numbers she still uses.
Important compatibility note: this pick works with an analog landline that has Caller ID. It is not for VoIP, cable-voice adapters, or pure internet phone service. If the house already moved to VoIP, this box won't solve it — you'll need a different approach.
Pair the blocker with the rest of the scam stack: freeze the credit, watch the bank statements, and decide who still gets through. The hardware is the filter. The plan is what you do after the next "urgent" call still slips past.

Who is this for?
Adult children caregiving for a parent with dementia who need a practical tool (a landline call blocker) — not a clinic brochure. Not medical advice.

This isn't medical, legal, or financial advice — it's practical notes from a caregiver perspective on tools families often buy once the paperwork and day-to-day safety work starts. Product availability and features change; verify the current listing on Amazon. For medical or safety decisions specific to your parent, talk with their clinician or a qualified professional.
