Perfect item for monitoring seniors getting out of bed at night

Bed unit is made of crackerly plastic, however unit works well

utilissimo!

This alarm system is wonderful and is perfect for what we need. Our previous system was very unreliable and lasted less than 2 months but because of that experience, I can compare that system with the one we have now, which is so much better. We love the remote control as I can carry it anywhere in the house and hear the alarm once triggered, plus my mother doesn't hear it because the alarm does not go off in her room. Also, no more false alarms. The previous system was so sensitive, it would go off with the slightest movement...then other other times not go off at all...very unreliable. So far, with the Lunderg system, it goes off as soon as she's off the pad and sitting up...which is perfect for our needs. We place the pad by her lower back so it gives us time to get to her room before she attempts to stand up. One person commented earlier (which was helpful), that we can't replace the battery for the pad, but you can replace the battery for the remote. I don't mind this because the pad is supposed to be used for a certain period of time before it needs to be replaced anyway. So far so good, and I sleep much better at night because I feel confident with this new purchase. (I do use a baby monitor as well for extra security).

This alarm has helped us tremendously. If we didn’t have that my father in law would have fallen so many times. I have it set to one side since his bed is against the wall we only have to worry about him getting out on one side. OMG! He has dementia & keeps trying to get up. The problem is he is 94 years old with dementia, but more agile than I am until he actually stands on his legs. His legs are weak & give out when he stands on them. The thing is he can hold them up together in the air as long as he wants while you get him dressed. I can’t do leg lifts like that. So getting up isn’t his problem, but once he’s up those same legs can’t hold him up. The alarm goes off, we immediately look at the camera & there he is getting up. It gives us enough time to dash downstairs to stop him. I don’t know what we’d do without it. I bought it in anticipation of him moving in with us because he was getting out of bed both in the hospital & at rehab. Great product, easy to install, works just as advertised. It has more than one setting. I have it so he can turn & reposition himself without setting off the alarm, but the moment he sits up & tries to get out of bed it goes off. Oh & its loud, you don’t have to worry that you will sleep through it. Not only is it loud it vibrates on my nightstand. Update: We love this device so much we bought the matching chair alarm. You pair it to the same alarm box. We have noted that occasionally (twice since mid February) it will become unpaired. It’s easy to pair it back to the device in 5-10 seconds. You just have to be careful because if you don’t notice & it becomes unpaired it’s useless, it won’t alarm & alert you. I’m convinced my father in law would have fallen & hurt himself by now if it weren’t for the alarm. We have a baby monitor with a couple of cameras watching him so if the alarm goes off we can see what he’s doing & actually talk to him to see why is he trying to get up. This has allowed us to safely sleep at night.

This worked for my mum on 1st night of use. Disappointed that no where in their advert did they say battery in pad is not replaceable and lifespan written on the pad is 15 months. You will know this only after buying and reading the fine prints on the pad itself. This product is expensive and I would have reconsidered it if the product description on the website is clearer on this.
