Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm looking for a pendant or watch alert system that will notify me if Mom falls and I don't hear her. I don't want it to call 911, just me. Does anyone know of such a system they can recommend? Gladys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 We used this co.

A Lifeline medical alert costs little more than a dollar a day, yet gives you peace of mind that is priceless. http://www.lifelinesys.com/ > > I'm looking for a pendant or watch alert system that will notify me if Mom > falls and I don't hear her.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I am on no mail right now, but I saw this, which was still in my mailbox, and will tell all of you that I just got Life Alert. But, Don can't wear the pendant, because he doesn't ring the portable doorbell we have used for years when he always has angina. Under stress an LBD LO can't think of what to do. So I am in the same quandery as Gladys. What will alert me all over the house? I don't hear well, and don't know what to do for me to be alerted. Don fell in his bedroom when he sat on the bed and took a nose dive. How that happened I don't know. He received another bruise, but nothing is broken. I would have laughed at what he was doing later if it hadn't been urgent to get things under control. He wanted to take a shower. I told him he would have to bathe himself tonight. In a few minutes he called me, so I went to see what he needed. He asked, " How do you get the shower adjusted. " He was standing outside the shower with the shower head in his hand just spraying the floor. I scrambled for a few minutes, and got things under control, and it all turned out fine. And now I bounce with laughter at my precious kid trying to take a shower. Love you all, Imogene In a message dated 3/24/2008 8:47:08 AM Central Standard Time, octoryrose@... writes: We used this co.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Gladys, I used the baby monitor system. You can get them with batteries so you carry one with you and leave one in the room. I hid Mom's when she wasn't there and she didn't even know I had it on. And even on occasion when I was just to tired, i could turn my end off for a bit so I could sleep.. They are easily availabel at any used baby place, (maybe Craigs list.) but make sure it is the portable one. That way our LOs don't have to remember to push anything and I could alway hear what she was doing. Hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I didn't know until someone told me, that others can hear on your baby monitor, too, if they are on the same channel. Has anyone else hear this? Kind of made me wonder about using one. JuneC --- Donna Mido wrote: > Gladys, > > I used the baby monitor system.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 June, Baby monitors are really walkie-talkie's so someone could hear on it if they are in the right range. Probably next door as they aren't meant for long range. So if you have a neighbor with a baby, maybe there would be some interference. But I never talked over it and neither did Mom. It just allowed me to hear when she was up and moving or packing. I never could make out her words that she seemed to have going all the time. I have never heard anyone else's on mine over a three year period, so I can't believe it would be a big problem unless everything was just right for it. Hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine.
