We fitted Nora’s HomesafeCare system in 2012. She feels much happier in her home knowing that if she were to fall or be unable to get out of bed the monitoring station will get an alert and her family will be contacted.
Her home was fitted with an emergency button, motion sensors and external door sensors. These allow Nora to call for help in an emergency and can also detect “no activity” or “night wandering”.
“I salute the motion sensors every morning because the people in the monitoring station know I’m ok and even though I have a dog in the house the system ignores her as they are special sensors, the system gives me that extra bit of safety and security and for me that is very important” Nora said
My name is Marie and I live an hour away from my parents. My life was turned upside down when my dad died. Apart from the huge loss we felt, Mom was left completely on her own and I was really worried about her. In the back of my mind I had thought of a nursing home, but I knew she wouldn’t want it plus it would place huge financial pressure on me.
Joan is a dementia patient and her HomesafeCare system was installed in Jan 2013. She lives in the country in an apartment next to her daughter Mary’s house. The system was set up for “night wandering” which means that if an external door opened during the night an alert would be sent to the monitoring station.
