When my grandmother, Lola Viating was yet hospitalized, she would wake up and go to the washroom all by herself when nobody is looking. Thank God she did not fall or slip but moving around like that still had a bad impact on her. She was advised total rest, you see. So, we have decided to watch over her 24/7, all of us cousins. We came in twos and attended to her without ever being tempted to sleep.. or did we? Hahaha.. well, that's why we had to go there in twos. If one sleeps, the other should be awake. At that time, I have not heard of the Medical Alert system which was developed for the sole purpose that elderly people can be helped 24/7 in terms of fall or other emergencies. In the hospital, patients have buttons to push during emergencies. But sometimes, they are unable to remember to push the said emergency button. So they end up in bad shape. Sometimes also, patients with Alzheimer's disease do not really know what they are doing or where they are going so gadgets are developed for purposes of tracking them down and take them home. Pretty interesting right? It would have benefited Lola Viating if we have known that such gadgets exists. Anyway, she lived 75 glorious years, and spent the best times with us. We have learned so much from her and we know we are loved by her.
Anyway, too late maybe for our grandma, but maybe not for yours. Do visit the site I visited, http://www.brickhousealert.com and learn more about the products I saw there. (Copy and paste this at the address bar. )
