Elderly Alarms For Elderly People
Elderly loved ones are at a high risk of medical or physical injury. With elderly alarm systems, their family members can easily alert caretakers or emergency services to help.

Simply press the button on a pendant or wristband and a call goes through to a 24/7 response centre operator. Some options even have automatic fall detection.
Bed Alarms

Many seniors need help getting out of bed to take care of daily functions such as bathing and eating. They may forget to ask or be unable to express this need verbally. A bed alarm prompts caregivers to provide assistance before the senior falls, preventing serious injuries.

A sensor pad goes under the sheets and is programmed to detect changes in weight and pressure. When it senses the elderly person has gotten out of bed, the alarm will sound to alert caregivers. The sensor can be reset by holding down the Reset button or manually reprogramming it.

Some elderly adults are prone to wandering, which is why it's important to monitor them throughout the day.

This device features multiple customization options including three alarm volume levels and two alert tones. It's made of break-resistant material and has an indicator light that will let you know when it's time to change the batteries.
Chair Alarms

If a person in your care is likely to leave their chair or get up from it unaided, consider using a chair sensor mat to monitor them. It’s an alternative to limb restraints that pose a greater danger to patients by making them feel tied down or trapped.

When a patient attempts to get up from their chair, the sensors trigger the alarm and let caregivers know. They can then head to the person’s room and provide assistance.

Some chair alarms can even play a soothing message to help calm a worried patient and reassure them that you are coming to their aid. Some sensor pads can also be set up to only notify caregivers of specific movements, such as if the person shifts or wiggles in their chair. This feature can help to reduce the number of false alarms caused by the weight of cushions or seat coverings. This can be particularly beneficial for elderly individuals who are more susceptible to triggering an alarm with extra movement.
Glass Break Sensors

Most standard security systems have devices like motion sensors and window and door contact sensors that can help deter or alert homeowners of an intruder attempting to break-in. However, a determined burglar can easily pry open a window or break glass to get inside. Glass break sensors provide a second layer of defense against intruders by responding to the sound or vibrations of broken windows or glass.

Acoustic glass-break sensors have small microphones that can pick up the frequencies of breaking glass. They may also be triggered by other sounds such as dropping a plate or watching a TV show with loud crashes. The best glass-break detectors have adjustable sensitivity settings that let homeowners customize them to minimize false alarms.
