Bed Alarm Fall Monitor and Long Term Bed Sensor Pad

Fantastic product. Seller is great to deal with.

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.

not eligible for returns, really, even if not unopened?Very disappointed,

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.

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.
