Secure Chair Alarm for Elderly Dementia Patients - 12"x12" Chair or Wheelchair Pressure Sensor Pad, 80-120 dB Alarm Monitor - Chair and Bed Alarms and Fall Prevention for Seniors

This is the best thing since sliced bread!!! It works every time and I can go clean in another room and as soon as he tries to stand up the thing goes off. He has had a stroke then got covid and had a heart attack and is too weak to walk by himself. This allows me to get to him before he stats to walk. The alarm is loud and works perfectly.

So far it's the most reliable device I've tried. The string type alarms are easily defeated by Alzheimer's patients. My mother has unclipped the string from her clothing and when attached to the back of the shirt it leaves enough slack when she has pulled her shirt off the alarm string doesn't detach from the alarm. The only cons about this type of alarm is that the pads have to be replaced once or twice a year and every time I pick her up with the Hoyer lift the alarm goes off and I have to push the reset button 4 or 5 times rapidly to reset it (instructions says it only takes 3 times). The only way to keep the alarm from going off is to unplug the pressure pad cord from the alarm and I used to do that but I found after all the rigamarole with the Hoyer I have forgotten to plug it back in. So I learned to put up with it. I had a set of voice activated walkie talkies and when I have to walk out of range of hearing the alarm I use them to hear the alarm.

This alarm works great! My 96 year old mother does not even know it's there. The beep is loud enough for us to hear it and know that she's up roaming !!The only thing that would have made this a 5 star is if the alarm unit was remote - that we could carry it around with us, so if we are in the backyard we would know if momma had gotten up.

It worked really well for some time, but it has gotten to where it is not as dependable. Sometimes it waits several seconds before the alarm detects the person has gotten off of it. This would allow the person to walk several feet before alarming the dismount.

I would rate this alarm similar to your doorbell buzzer. . . if that. As a caregiver, if you fall asleep and the patient gets out of bed, triggering the alarm, it may only wake you if you are in the same room, and a light sleeper. It is not loud enough to wake you, and shouldn't be counted on if the alerted response is mandatory. It would be fine to use if you are awake and in an adjacent room to the patient. The manufacturer's claim of 120 decibels is utterly ridiculous! 120 decibels is ear-splitting. It is like sitting in the front row of a rock concert. . . you could not hear yourself talk. I like everything else about this unit.

We needed help knowing when mom was getting out of bed since she forgets she needs assistance. The alarm works well when placed at hip level under the sheets. It also alerts once if she shifts her weight. Great for home caregivers and the battery has lasted well over 2 months so far

I bought this one along with some alarms for the bed and let me tell you they're a god send. They helped so much for my grandmother. It helped us have a bit of piece of mind leaving the room while she was in her chair. It worked perfectly. I would highly recommend buying this product.

Its working fine, but the product encourages use of an AC cord but does not provide one. I bought it because I thought it had one.

Will not reset unless you hit the reset button 40 or 50 times. They will not take it back either. Waste of money
