Caring for a loved one at home can be both a precious and stressful experience.
Ensuring the safety of your loved one can be a challenge. Knowing that they are still safe in bed, or in their favourite chair makes a big difference to your stress.
If they are more mobile, knowing that they are still safe within your house will allow you to relax a little.
To help you manage, unobtrusive sensors can be placed at strategic points in your home. If activated, these will automatically raise an alert to you, through a pager you will wear.
Our sensors can be your “eyes in the back of your head”, and allow you to get on with life a little more normally. And the person you are caring for can feel more free, less watched.
We know that night time caring can also have its challenges, and rob you of good sleep. Our clever bed sensors can allow your loved one time to go to the bathroom, for example. But if they are away from their bed for longer than a pre-set time, an alert will be sent to you. It can even shake your pillow to wake you! That way you can enjoy better sleep.

For people living on their own, these sensors can be monitored remotely by our response centre, and can be triggered to alert a nominated carer or our response centre. Designed to support independence and dignity, they also enable carers to feel supported and more relaxed. As these arrangements are very specific to the needs to the individual, please contact us for more information.
