One Big CEIVA Family

"A few years ago we bought CEIVAs as presents for my parents and my wife's mother. They enjoyed them so much that they gave CEIVAs as presents to my other three siblings. Also, my sister-in-law got one and she gave two as presents. Therefore, our CEIVA "family" has expanded to a total of 9 frames.

We own several cameras and we take a lot of pictures. The photos stored on my main CEIVA album have grown to 68 pages which is almost 1,650 photos and I only send the better shots!"

CEIVA Helps Grandparents Stay Close

"After the birth of our son, we moved from Denver to Minneapolis, then to Australia and had a second child. CEIVA has let our parents stay close to us and the grandkids, no matter where we are on the planet! "

The Perfect Solution for Retirement Residents

"We would send Mom pictures by email; but she was often frustrated and confused by the community computer at her retirement residence. Computing for her is "pull" technology - she had to initiate activity. When I saw the CEIVA, it was perfect, so we gave it to her for her 85th birthday. First I chose to include the weather and date. For an aging person, this is a great function. They can easily see the day and time and what is happening - which is important to grounding them. Second, she loves to find the light on. It means new pictures are there and it is a great way to liven her day. For me, particularly living several thousand miles away, it is my way of keeping her engaged with our day to day lives."

CEIVA Enhances the Life of Loved Ones

"My original CEIVA purchase was made for my 90 year old mother in law; "Grandma Ellie". She was the matriarch of our family, the source of information for all family affairs, but as her hearing diminished so did her telephone use and therefore her ability to stay on top of family news. We are a family spread across the country... so phone conversations were her main source of family news. Her spirit and enthusiasm started to wane despite a letter writing effort to keep her in touch. We learned about and bought her a CEIVA, setting it up in her apartment at the retirement home.

The CEIVA instantly became her reconnect to the family. She gave me clear instructions to keep several photos permanently on her screen, but otherwise I made sure she had several new photos a day that I and family members dutifully supplied. We have many many family stories about Mom and her "picture box". When Grandma Ellie moved to assisted living, her CEIVA accompanied her, and once settled in, she would light up at the opportunity to introduce her care takers to her family via the CEIVA. There is no doubt my mother-in-law's last years of life were enhanced because of the CEIVA. I will always be grateful for that.

I've purchased and am currently managing 5 CEIVA frames. The photos I have sent through CEIVA these past years have included weddings, vacations, births, reunions, graduations and most significantly... simple every day events. The CEIVA gives me the precious opportunity to "be with them" every day. I truly believe that it has had a significant positive impact on our lives."

CEIVA really helped me out here and I do appreciate it greatly."

And those of us who live far away felt that we were communicating with her more thoroughly and actively than we could on the phone, since she couldn't hear very well anyway."

CEIVA – Makes Special Occasions a Little More Special!

It makes the special occasion a little more special!"
