Review on Lunderg Early Alert Bed Alarm System - Wireless Bed Sensor Pad & Pager - Elderly Monitoring Kit With Pre-Alert Smart Technology - Bed Alarms And Fall Prevention For Elderly And Dementia Patients by Jessica Moore

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worked well for my opinion

I ordered this for my sister-in-law as she entered hospice level care. She was strong enough to get out of bed on her own, but not safe once up and she was slightly confused and forgetful. My brother slept so soundly that he would not awaken to help her. I set it up so that the alarm box could be heard by the rest of us in the house so we could help her instead. During the day she slept a lot and was not yet at the point where someone needed to be at her bedside constantly, so the alarm box was out on the patio with the rest of the family. It worked beautifully. The only times there were false alarms were when my sister-in-law hung her leg way over the edge of the bed as she liked to do, but even then, it did not alarm every time she did this. To eliminate the false alarms, we moved the recliner next to the bed so her foot would rest on that instead of the floor. We always had time to get to her in time for trips to the bathroom etc. Once she was too weak and confused to try and get out of bed, we removed the system so the alarm wouldn't go off every time we helped her change her position. After she died, we found an agency that accepted a lot of medical equipment including bed alarms.
