Smart Caregiver Bed Exit Alert for Elderly Fall Prevention - Bed Alarm & Corded Weight Sensing Pad Let You Know When Patients Gets Up - 1 Year Warranty

We just recently had a family member have a mild stroke that left him weak on the right side to the point he has to take great care standing up. We had a close call in the hospital with he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and did not remember his situation. Thankfully the hospital had a sort of bed alarm, it clipped to his gown and got to him just as he was trying to get out of the bed without his walker. We were looking for something less intrusive than a cord and clip and that would give him a reminder to take care getting up and alerts his wife that he is trying to get up. First the basics: - Detects a person trying to sit up or get up from bed. - Installation is no harder than putting on a bed heating pad. - Covers only the side of a queen or king sized bed you want covered. - Adjustable alarm volume and 3 styles. - Place under shoulders/chest to detect sitting up - Place under rear area to detect someone leaving the bed - No fancy controls, long manuals, ideal for older folks as the care-giver and user - Easy one button silence - 9V battery or optional power supply (wall wart) She said after testing this out and putting on the bed she got the first good night's sleep since he got home, she was so worried he would get up and fall, and the fear of that made sleeping nearly impossible for her. We were all worried about it also so everyone benefits from this. It does not trigger from rolling over and generally moving in his sleep, but as soon as he starts to sit up, it triggers an adjustable alert and is just right to remind him of his situation and lets her know he is getting up. He likes it as it is not obtrusive or demeaning and he does not have to be tethered to a device. So far it has worked perfectly. Hard to believe how much difference a simple device like this can make.

This mattress alarm has worked really well at alerting caregiver when patient tries to get out of bed. It's given us peace of mind that potential falls and wandering will be nipped in the bud because the alarm goes off when her weight comes off the alarm pad. Only downside is, the useful life is only 12-14 months. After that, alarm will go off intermittently for no reason. At that point we just bought another one.

Initially this was a lifesaver for me, the caregiver to my Mom, an 80 year old with Alzheimer's. It gave me peace of mind knowing when she decided to get out of bed and "ramble" which she is prone to do, I was alerted and would put her back to bed. The product worked fine for about two months and then I noticed it started working only sporadically. She would get up and sometimes it would work and other times it would not. I replaced the batteries and got a couple more weeks use out of it before it stopped altogether. I replaced the batteries once again hoping I had just simply purchased old/bad batteries. Unfortunately, that was not the case and it has stopped alarming at all. Out of the four months I have had it, it probably worked about two months total. Don't buy this product.

It's a little sensitive but if I just wait one second I can quickly figure out if my client was just shifting in bed or if she is truly trying to get out of bed. I'd rather it be a little too sensitive than not enough. Probably not loud enough if it's on a two story house. I have my bedroom upstairs and my client's is downstairs. I had to buy a baby monitor from offer up for $10 so I could hear the alarm going off.

My mom who has Alzheimer's disease lives with us. I purchased this to put on her bed so I would be aware if she tries to get out of bed during the night. The alarm is loud. I have a baby monitor set up in our bedrooms, so I definitely have no problem hearing it. I gave it four stars instead of five because the alarm goes off easily. I can't plug it in until I have her settled in bed and ready to leave the room. I couldn't use the battery option because of this. Otherwise, the system works perfectly for me. In a way I like the sensitive alarm because it goes off right away and give me plenty of time to get to her. But If you have a person who moves in bed when they sleep, this wouldn't be for you.

The alarm was used for about a week before it didn't work anymore. We do not know if it failed due to a rough patient change, bodily fluids, poor alarm contacts, bad batteries (doubtful) or what. The system could be more robust, especially given what can happen in a bed with elderly patients. The system comes in a box that holds the alarm pad flat. Battery installation requires a small Phillips head screwdriver. 9 volt battery IS NOT INCLUDED. The battery installs with some difficulty. Volume is set with a little switch in the battery compartment. The alarm unit is connected to the pad via a RJ15 connector. Operation is easy. The alarm is armed/active when compressed by the patient. When the patient gets off the pad, the alarm sounds until either the patient returns or the alarm is silenced via button on the alarm. Arming is automatic and signals by giving two chirps. The alarm is a cyclic long double beep. Hard to miss. For ambulatory patients, it seemed fine. If patients are transitioning from ambulatory to non-ambulatory, the pad may not be robust enough for linen or clothes changes while the patient is on the bed.

When bright Dad home from hospital I asked hospice for a alarm bed pad. They don't provide but I could buy one and I did and it worked great. We learn very quickly to place the pad 12-15 inches from the side of the bed so when Dad sat up on the side of the bed the alarm sounded before he left the bed. The price was right around $50, the delivery was 2 days so we were able to utilized it for 20 of the 24 days we had him at home. I set up a baby monitor in My room so the alarm sounded right by me on the baby monitor and I was able to rush into his room before he left bed, which was several times a night the first 3 weeks. It was the best piece of equipment I bought for his care during that 4 week period we took care of him.

This is my 2nd review on this product, It works great. With the AC Adapter, it is ideal for my situation. I can sleep at night and not worry about not waking up and having my stroke patient wonder around and possibly fall. I can also take off the battery cover, and adjust the volume from very loud to soft, so during the day when I'm around the house or have other caregivers help me, they don't have to sit next to his bed and watch him the whole time. I recommend getting the AC adapter with this, as the battery only lasts about 4-5 days when used 24/7. Well worth the money; and Thank you kerrmedical for the AC adapter.
