I take care of my grandmother full time. I also take care of the house so I'm not always in the same room with her. What is the best way to hear her when I'm in another room or outside? She is very independent and doesn't like asking for help. So she won't yell for me or call my phone she will simply just wait till she sees me pass by. My fear is she is going to fall and I won't hear it. She has had many strokes and both heart and lung doctors say she would not survive another surgery. So we are doing our best as we wait.


I don't want her to feel like I don't trust her I just want to be able to hear when out of the room. I thought baby monitors but I fear it will upset her. Any advice???

Baby monitors with one way sound, or even add the video so you can glance at it and see mom. They are small and won't upset her.

I often babysat for my daughter and all I was doing was reading in the LR and watching the baby monitor. (Never actually 'saw' the baby. If you opened her bedroom door she'd wake up...so the monitor allowed mom & dad a night out and didn't stress me one bit. A breastfed baby who will NOT take a bottle is not a fun thing to experience! But she'd sleep through the night if not awakened). There was no sound on the baby's end.

I used a baby monitor. I could hear Mom but was not able to answer with the one I had. One receiver is plugged in, the other is cordless so u can take from room to room. Believe me, you can hear a pin drop. Thiscwas 6 yrs ago and a used one they are probably better now.

I have a camera in my mother's room so I can see if she needs help. It has the option that I can listen in, I can speak to her from it, it has night vision and it also acts as a motion detector that will send an alert to my phone. When I first moved mom in I told her about it and she doesn't know it's there anymore. It is the TENVIS security camera with night vision, and two way audio.
