Easy landline phone

My wife struggles with arthritic fingers and some dementia. She used to phone me if I was out, and she needed me but recently she has been unable to use the house phone or her mobile.
I’d like to get a very simple landline phone that has one button that I can programme to call my mobile.
I know I could get a mobile like that but she would be angry if she did not have her smart phone even though she can’t use it

We used this for my father in law. The buttons with pictures on you can pre program so they just pick up get dialling tone then press the button they need. We replaced the pictures with the names of people

We can pre program 6 numbers

It's actually a phone for the hard of hearing (Google phones for deaf) but works fine as a normal phone

DM (92) has an Alexa. She can tell it to phone me via her mobile phone. She doesn't need to touch the phone. She has one in the bedroom too so she can call me from anywhere in the flat.

Doro has one similar to the big button one above, with 3 quickdial buttons: https://www.doro.com/en-gb/shop/home-devices/corded-telephones/doro-phoneeasy-331ph-6164b2b4/

We had Doro phones for my dad and they have great sound quality.

I have ordered one very like that. She can punch my face and that will dial my mobile
