My 95 year old Mom has alzheimer's / dementia and I gently let her know how important it is to wear the Phillips Lifeline Necklace which has fall detection but she forgets (which I understand due to her dementia). She loves wearing her gold necklace. I even took off the string that is threaded through the Lifeline and put a 18K gold plated snake chain through it, but that didn't work either.
Any ideas as I do need to leave the house for 20 to 30 minutes to buy food or pick up her medication.
For those that don't know me, I am a full time caregiver for my Mom (24/7) and I don't have any help nor at this time do I need any help since my Mom is the sweetest person I know and so easy to take care of. I'm scared that she may fall (which she has done in the past).
I do have a smart phone if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
Jenna
Can the necklace be placed in a pocket each morning? She would not notice it so probably she would leave it alone.
You might also want to consider putting security cameras in the house that you can monitor on your phone.
My Mom is so confused that I don't even know if she knows to press the button. She's only familiar with tasks from her past years except the telephone.
I already have 2 security cameras so I will set them up as I can see her on my phone.
Thanks for reminding me that I have them so I could set one up in my Mom's bedroom (where she spends most of her time) and the hallway which she uses to go to the bathroom.
She doesn't remember how to use the telephone and/or answer the telephone (which I forget to mention in my original post).
I will set up my Blink camera's.
Thanks, Jenna
