Two finds which might just be worth mentioning.
Mobile phones: Liz was struggling with a smart phone so it was time to get something easy.
Amplicomms 8000 was the one that did the business.
It is one of the few 'big button' phones to run on 2G and 3G - Essential for some networks like '3' who have turned the older frequencies off.
It has 3 buttons across the top which can be pre-programmed to call three key people.
Its got an SOS button recessed n the back which is fully programmable and it has a recorded message when the other end pick up.
It seems to be more modern circuitry rather than obsolescent old stuff re-purposed.
Once set up it is easy to use and it is well made and rugged. I recently found that Prince Phillip uses one, but the company would not accept a return and refund on those grounds 
Most importantly Liz is able to use it without assistance 
Trackball:
Liz is struggling with the mouse on the PC now. I got her a Kensington Orbit Optical Wired USB Trackball. It means that she can get the cursor where she wants in and then hit the left mouse button. She was clicking the mouse wheel and middle button repeatedly without realising prior to this.
The trackball is rugged and stays where it is put on the desk. the buttons have a good click feel and are large.
I hope this is of use to someone some time.
phone advice please
