Wireless Bed Alarms For Elderly Caregivers

Whether you are caring for someone at home or in a nursing facility, a bed exit alarm is an important safety tool. A simple alarm signal can help prevent your loved one from wandering into unsafe areas such as the bathroom or hallways.

There are many options available, including wireless and wired products. Some have a monitor that alerts you when your elderly loved one tries to get out of bed or wander away from their room.
