Anti-Wandering Alarms – Keep The Elderly Where They Need To Be

 Smart Caregiver Cordless Floor Mat (No Alarm in Patient’s Room),Gray,24 x 48Anti-wandering systems may make it possible to keep the elderly safe at home.

And, any item that can help keep our senior citizens in their own or in a family home is golden!

Anti-wandering systems usually consist of a sensor and a wireless pager for the caregiver. I preferred the anti-wandering systems that worked with a floor mat. If Mom stepped on the mat and put down just 6 lbs of pressure, an alarm would signal to me, wherever I was. I just kept the pager on me at all times.

Particularly during the evenings when Mom’s Sundowners Syndrome would kick in, I had a hard time keeping her in bed. That’s how I discovered these alarm systems.

And,  in patients with Alzheimers, the wandering syndrome can become quite a safety hazard. Knowing where your elderly loved one is at any given moment and being able to ensure their safety in your care is your number one priority as a caregiver.

It was, at least, my number one priority and, let me tell ya, Gertie gave me a run for the money on some nights.

If you are a caregiver to an elderly person who even periodically can get confused, an anti wandering alarm system will become your best friend.

Anti-Wandering Systems For The Bed Or Chair

In these types of alarm systems, there is a pad upon which your loved one sits or lies. If your senior citizen loved one arises from the monitoring pad, the alarm will signal the caregiver.

Note: most bed alarms can also be used on a chair, the difference being that the pad for the bed alarm might be larger than the pad for a chair alarm for wandering.
