Digital Photo Frame for Elderly Mother
Discussion
My mother is now in a care home and I would like to load up a digital photo frame with heaps of family photos.
Best option would be it automatically displays one or two a day each day without any intervention on her part . It can sit on a window sill next to a plug.
Amazon seems a minefield on this from £30 to £200. May I have a recommendation please . I would rather buy better and simple .
Thanks

Bought a Nixplay one for my Dad a couple of years ago when he went into a home. Got a wi-fi one and connected it to the home wi-fi so can remotely change the photos. Seems to work fine, has a small remote control so can use that locally without having to use an app.
Not sure if you can only have it change photos only once/twice a day, my Dads I think is set to 30 or 60 seconds which seems fine. They have various premium control options, I’ve not needed anything more than the standard free ones.
Worth getting a fairly large one, think I got a 10”, as it means if you have a mixture of portrait and landscape photos the ones that aren’t the same orientation as the frame are still large enough to see.

Another vote for Nixplay. Bought one for MIL a few years ago and still going strong.
Bought another in Jan for my Mum who has Dementia, she loves it. I can manage and update the frame from anywhere via app or website. She's moving into a care home this week, just need to connect it to their WiFi.
Playback mode is all or latest 10, 20, 50 or 100.
There are 11 interval choices between 5 seconds and 1 hour.

I have done this for relatives spread in other countries using a Google Nest Home Hub.
All the photos sit in Google Photos anyway and are into albums - I just grant access via the app to send various albums to their devices and it plays them at whatever interval (5sec up to 2mins) each in random orders across the albums - works great and has the bonus of its other features and being able to use them for calls etc.
