Q: Home button access help please

Is there a way for a quadrapulilgic to open iPhone without hitting the home button? I've tried raising the button with a stick on bump to help her but as time goes by it's getting to tricky for her. Is there a like a voice command we can program to act as home button swiping the slider to get to phone is near impossible for her. Any suggestions will be much appreciated? She has an iphone5, I'll be going there tomorrow to help update to ios7. thank you for any tips at all!

iMac (27-inch Late 2009), iOS 6, if it's Apple I have it or want it!e

Call Apple............Customer Care..
How is the person managing Now?
(In Sleep mode the Home button still requires a Push..but then you can use Voice to go forward)

There is an option in Settings to make things a bit easier.

Go to: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5018?viewlocale=en_US

the option you are looking for is Assistive Touch.It allows commonly used commands
like open, close, home screen, lock, unlock to be triggered by one press on a floating
button on the screen rather than pressing home button. I am not sure if you can do this
with voice.
