I'd like to buy a remote control for my grandmother that is similar to the ones used in hospitals, at least around here. The remote hooks to the bed by a long cord, it has a few simple buttons, and best yet, it has a speaker in it too. You just put the remote in bed with you and it's easy to hear.
I looked on Amazon and can't find it. I've asked the hospital for information, but have gotten blank stares so far. The remote doesn't have a brand name or other identifying information. Any clue where to buy these?

How on earth did you find it, johnnycamp5? I tried everything from googling key terms, to emailing the hospital administration, to begging the maintenance department, to calling every nursing home in my town. Thank you so much! You've given me the actual name, the manufacturer, and pictures I can show around in case someone else knows where to find something similar. I really appreciate this! I'd love to know how you unearthed it though.
gofar99, I appreciate the suggestion, but one of the great things about the Curbell remote is its simplicity. There's a volume dial, an up and down channel, and a simple 0-9 key pad. On the other hand, every other remote has a zillion buttons that are jam-packed together and difficult for shaky fingers to push correctly. Part of that is due to Comcast Xfinity, but the hospital had the same cable with a simple remote so I know it can be done.
You all are such a helpful group! I've gotten my father's record player fixed, dusted off his records, and received information about this remote all thanks to you all. I appreciate the kindness!

I didn't know you got Dad's record player fixed. That's awesome! I came here to ask about it originally but got distracted by piano talk.
Thank you to everyone who chimed in with information. I can't believe you found it, johnnycamp, when our family had tried everything under the sun to locate the device. Thanks!
