Safety Concerns for your Elder


While perusing the web as usual, I found something quite useful to many of you who are caring for Elders with safety problems. This device can be found at 1-800wheelchair.com
and looks fairly priced. The site has alot of things available for activities of daily living problems and mobility problems as well.

We have used similar devices while caring for our Elders, and they are a "God-send". You will be doing yourself and your Elder big favors by preventing accidents, falls from bed or from a chair with the resulting possibility of horrid injuries that your Elder may not be able to recuperate from.

If your Elder tried to get up without assistance with this device in place, an alarm will sound to let you know. For Elders with poor balance or coordination, combined with poor memory or confusion, that try to get up without your assistance and risk falls and fractures, this is ideal. You will also realize some peace of mind, knowing you can leave your Elder unattended for awhile.

Just trying to help you create some "Pleasant Days" for yourself and your Elder.
