Best Digital Frames for Nursing Homes & Assisted Living

A digital frame in a nursing home keeps residents connected to family. The best frames for assisted living are simple. No buttons to press, no apps to learn. The family sends photos from home and the frame updates by itself. A motion sensor turns it on when someone walks by and off when the room is empty.

Buying Tip

Choose a frame with a large screen (15 inches is ideal) and a motion sensor. The Skylight 15 is the top pick because photos arrive by email and the touchscreen is simple. Make sure the nursing home has WiFi where the frame will be placed. Set it up before you bring it in.

Keep your loved one connected. A frame that updates itself means they see new family photos every day.
