Long range two-way speakerphone pendant communicator

A two-way pendant communicator requires no monthly fees and can be used for communication and emergencies. The pendant communicator allows the user to send a message in and around the home for checking in, for immediate help, and also works as an emergency call button. The communicator is portable and can be used when traveling and even in the shower. One button to press for communication is accessible for people with memory, vision, and mobility challenges when support or help is needed. An added bonus is that the pendant can be used to answer incoming phone calls.

Home monitoring

House

Many phone, internet, and security companies offer options for monitoring a home remotely through the use of cameras, sensors, and other forms of technology.  Many can turn on and off appliances, shut off water and gas sources during an emergency, and alert when someone enters or exits the home.  Many options with varying features are available.  Below are a few examples and resources:

Video remote monitoring (with service through a vendor)

There are several options for video remote monitoring available through nationwide vendors who also provide remote monitoring staffing.

These options include:

  • One way video monitoring that allows a remote caregiver to see common areas of a home and can notify others or communicate directly with the person if issues arise
  • Two way video which allows the person to see the remote caregiver and interact with them directly both visually and verbally

Contact these vendors for additional information:

Sensors (purchasing from a vendor)

Sensors are available for rent or purchase as part of a remote monitoring service through nationwide vendors.

The types and function of the sensors include:

  • Contact sensors that can be used to detect when a door, window, cabinet or drawer are opened
  • Motion sensors that detect movement in a room
  • Pressure sensors that detect when someone is in a bed or chair
  • Moisture sensors that detect when a person experiences incontinence
