Old Telephone, New Happiness
The Wonderphone (Wonderfoon) is a repurposed, recycled rotary dial telephone that serves as a simple mini-jukebox—a Musical Memory—for people with Dementia.
What it is: A Wonderphone is an old, recognizable PTT telephone, specially designed for people with dementia and their caregivers.
What it does: It combines the familiar sight of a telephone from the past with chosen music from that era (e.g., Wim Sonneveld, Dorus).
For clarity: A Wonderphone is not a new telephone, and therefore may have signs of use and/or stickers on it. You can put your own music of choice onto the Wonderphone.
