Bed and Chair Monitors

You don’t have to constantly worry or watch over your loved ones, give yourself the peace of mind that you will be alerted to offer assistance if someone you care for gets out of their bed or chair.

Vulnerable people who live independently need careful monitoring to ensure their safety. Some of them, particularly those with dementia are vulnerable to wandering around or away from their home at all times of day. This may result in a fall, or locking themselves out in the cold. Bed exit alarms and chair sensors can help carers to prevent this kind of risk by sounding an alert when relatives are on the move. Chair and bed monitors come in a wide range of sizes with varying applications but are all designed to detect the movement of vulnerable people. Some include a chair sensor, and are used to indicate that a person has risen without assistance. Bed monitors work to announce that someone has unexpectedly risen from bed, in the day or at night.

A bed monitor or chair sensor is important because it indicates that someone has put themselves at risk of falling or entered a space that could put them in danger. Typically, a bed monitor/chair sensor will notify a relative or carer that a vulnerable person is moving around unexpectedly and that they may need to attend the scene. Bed exit alarms are often linked to a pager that the carer carries at all times. Many bed monitor or chair sensor systems use a mat or pad placed under a cushion or mattress to identify movement.
