Noise and dementia

The impact of noise on people with dementia is particularly important in a care setting. Dementia often alters how the person perceives external stimuli, such as noise and light, and as hearing is linked to balance, this also leads to a greater risk of falls. This can come from a loss of balance or an increase in disorientation in an environment that is overstimulating and noisy.

A dementia friendly fall alarm

The Voice Alert allows the carer to record a few simple instructions in a voice familiar to the patient. This friendly prompt reduces anxiety and confusion and is often sufficient to engage the patient, allowing the carer time to attend.

Caring for our carers

Whether you are a full time carer for a friend or relative or a professional nurse, the pressure of looking after someone can be exhausting and overwhelming. All of our alarms offer some respite to caregivers, reducing the need for 24/7 supervision by providing reliable, assisted monitoring.

Simple Operation

Select alarm
Besides a standard tone, a custom voice message can be recorded for sensitive or easily confused patients. Alternatively, the device can be muted and connected to a nurse-call system.

Select mode
As well as a magnetic pull cord, the Voice Alert can be set to detect when a patient applies pressure or removes pressure from a sensor mat. This allows the carer to cater for a wide variety of care situations.

Position sensor mat
Sensor mats should be placed directly below the patient when used in pressure-off mode or immediately in front of the patient in pressure-on mode. Bed mats should be placed across the bed.
