Hi All,
My sister who is terminally ill is going to return home and attempt some semblance of caring for herself, but with family, home healthcare nurses, and pay as you go caretakers - but, she wants to try and do as much as possible herself.
She clearly has the potential to fall, so we would like to get a fall detection and communications device to monitor her.
We live in the same city, so could receive the alerts ourselves, or have them go through a monitoring service - which works best? She has bluetooth phone, and home wifi so both or either could provide connection ... or local cell system.
Which devices are best in this sort of circumstance?
I'm sure someone has gone through this recently?
As always, thank you for your comments!
