I want to share my experience because I didn’t have a great time with those necklaces and bracelet types. I tried a couple; one with a simple pendant with a button, and the other was a bracelet that supposedly detected falls. Honestly, they just didn’t work for me and my mom.
She would often forget to wear them, or she’d take them off because they felt uncomfortable or got in the way. And with the fall detection one, we had a lot of false alarms, which were really frustrating. Also, one time she did fall, it didn’t trigger.
My mom doesn’t walk much, just to the bathroom and back, so she spends most of her time in her room. I needed something that suited that type of situation. I read about the JubileeTV box online and decided to give it a try.
The TV detection system tells me if she’s left her room and how long she’s been out. That way, if she’s out longer than usual, I know something might be off. There was this one time she fell in the hallway and couldn’t get up when I was out for groceries. I saw on my app that she wasn’t in the room for a while, and I rushed back to help her.
I also set up reminders for her meds, and I can call her directly on the TV whenever I need to, even if the TV is off.
It’s all super simple for her to use. She always had a lot of trouble with TV remotes, but this one has 6 buttons, so she doesn’t call me all the time to turn the volume up or change the channel. Sometimes she still forgets how to do something, so she calls me, and I can do it for her through my app. Very convenient option, if you still didn't find what suits you.
Your explanation that the device must fit the situation is hepful, I would like a device that suits my situation of living with a deaf man with nobody else nearby. I could not yell for help. I tried one of those necklace type buttons. It heated up on my chest and it called the Philippines if I pushed the button, not any local emergency response. Definitely not as advertised and super expensive. Ideas?
