Advantages of a Caregiver Monitoring System

Dear fellow caregivers! Have you ever wished you had another pair of eyes and or ears to help you while caring for those you love? The advantages of a caregiver monitoring system are so numerous you might be surprised. A monitoring system can give you freedom to do other everyday tasks such as vacuuming, cooking and doing dishes. It can give you that little extra time YOU need to care for yourself like bathing, resting and enjoying the rest of the family. How? you may ask. I will give you a few suggestions and then you can decide for yourself if a monitoring system would be of help to you. There are many types of caregiver monitoring systems available with different options you may or may not need.

A monitoring system which allows the caregiver and the loved one the ability to easily communicate while not directly in the room is very essential. Some offer the caregiver the ability to listen to what is going on in the room, while other systems allow the loved one the ability to call for assistance and talk directly to the caregiver which often times will save the caregiver many unnecessary steps. The ease of communication can be priceless when considering the constant care often times needed.

Having the ability to use different types of alarms with the monitoring system can be very helpful and cost effective. One such alarm is used on the bed to alert the caregiver if the patient should attempt to get out of bed. This type of monitor is very important for those who are caring for the elderly who have a tendency to fall and need assistance but will not ask for assistance for whatever reason, such as the inability to ask for help, not realizing they need help or even that good old sense of pride we all have which can often times be the culprit which allows us to cause harm to ourselves. This type of alarm also comes in a size to fit in chairs and alerts the caregiver when the loved one is attempting to arise from the sitting position.

Another type of alarm available lies flat on the floor. It can be put by the bed or in the doorway. This type of alarm is especially nice for those who have a tendency to arise and wander around the room or home both day and night. This type of alarm is very useful for those who have dementia or are sleep walkers because it alerts the caregiver and lets them know the loved one is on the move.

There are many types of caregiver monitoring systems available. I suggest you take time to look them over. It is important to realize you might not be in need of a certain aspect offered by the company at this time but you may need it in the future.
