Alarm Mats for Elderly

As a primary caregiver, keeping a constant watchful eye and catering to the needs of a senior individual at all times can be quite draining and difficult as well. This is why you need all the tech-enabled products you can get to provide the help and support that they need whilst not being stressed and burned out yourself.

At Kerr Medical, we know that if there is something that a caregiver is usually deprived of, it is a good night’s rest. After all, caregivers are known to prioritize the needs of the elderly who are in their care. What if they fall while trying to get up from the bed? What if they slip when they try to go to the washroom? These concerns keep them on the edge due to which they skip sleeping and tending to their own needs.

But all this can be avoided and the safety of the elderly in need of assistance can also be guaranteed with a simple addition — wireless floor mat alarms.

What Are Floor Mat Alarms?

Floor mat alarms alert the caregiver immediately when seniors place their feet on the floor mat after getting up from their bed. It is the perfect anti-fall system that is activated when pressure is applied on the mat.

There are multiple models available, designed for different purposes. While you can choose floor mat models that sound an alarm near the senior’s bed where there is an existing system installed, there are also floor pressure mat alarms that send wireless signals to pagers instead. These models can alert the caregivers up to 150' away. Perfect to ensure the caregiver’s good night’s sleep and also to make sure that the senior is not startled by the sound of the alarm.

Here are the other benefits of investing in floor mat alarms for the elderly:

Anti-Wandering Systems

Not only seniors but individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and children with special needs are also at a high risk of wandering away and getting lost. Floor pressure sensor mats placed near exit points prove to be fail-safe measures in such cases, as the alarm will be triggered the moment the mat is stepped on.

Suitable For In-Home Care

These alarm systems are not only meant for hospitals and assisted living facilities. You can invest in one for your home so that you are immediately alerted when your aged parent requires your help. Monitoring their health will become a whole lot easier with this simple addition.
