and my mother couldn't have used it.

Sorry to hear that. My mom was able to, up until the last few days before her death.
We were lucky that she never forgot our names (me and my sister). Or Alexa's name, for that matter. She might have been slow to recall Alexa's name at times, but she would remember after a while. Just like telephones with large buttons and speed dial are of use for a while before they become too confusing, so was Alexa. There will come a time when those telephones can no longer be used, and when Alexa can no longer be used. My mom lost the ability to use a telephone to contact us, but could still use Alexa to contact us. We consider that a blessing, even if you don't. Eventually, mom would have lost the ability to use Alexa. But she died before that happened.
