Fall detectors for the bathroom - detect slips & falls
30/05/2017
Fall detectors for the bathroom
The bathroom is a place where falls often happen and fall detectors can be invaluable here. People can slip on a wet floor, in the bath, or 
can even get tired in a hot shower. Grab bars can prevent slips & falls (& we recommend their use) but they wont eliminate the risk completely. However waterproof telecare fall detectors can detect slips & falls. A pull-cord can also be easily added in you bathroom (without the need for wiring) & linked to your telecare system.
One such product is our 'Man Down Alarm' automatic fall detector. It is a combined personal alarm with built in automatic fall detector. The automatic fall detection alert within the device has a built-in tilt sensor. When the device tilts for a set period of time this indicates that a person may have fallen. Alternatively, pressing the red button will generate a call at any time. In this way the Man Down Alarm functions in the same way as a pendant alarm. It works with a telecare base unit to generate a call for help 24hours a day to our Monitoring Centre in Ireland.
The alarm can be used as a pendant alarm/panic button or as an automaic fall detector for people who are elderly or disabled. It can also be appropriate for some individuals with motor control problems, such as those resulting from a stroke or Multiple sclerosis (MS) in cases were the individual may not be able to press a standard pendant alarm button. This type of fall detector can also be used as a safety device by a lone worker in a hazardous environment or where the worker will be alone for prolonged period of time.
Tilt Fall Detection Function
l When the sensor detects a tilt of more than 60 degrees, it will start an internal countdown of approximately ten seconds.
l If the sensor comes back to a vertical position within these ten seconds no emergency alarm will be sent.
l If the sensor does not come back to a vertical position, a pre-alarm starts, accompanied by an audible/beeping sound. This audible alarm lasts approximately thirty seconds. The pre-alarm is cancelled if the sensor comes back to a vertical position or if the help call button is pressed within these thirty seconds.
Help call button
Pressing the central red button of the Man Down Alarm will activate a help call at any time.

How telecare can help carers
30/11/2016
Telecare is far from the only technology that can ease the burden of caring, but it is particularly effective. That’s because all telecare sensors can connect your elderly relative or loved one to a monitoring centre if help is needed. In other words, telecare provides a lifeline, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. With telecare in place, you can be alerted if your elderly relative or loved one trips or falls at home, or needs help for any other reason and can’t reach a telephone. Meanwhile, they will not be left alone, uncertain as to whether anyone will arrive to assist.
Once you have a telecare base-unit in your home, many other telecare devices can be programmed to connect to that same base-unit automatically.* The base-unit is the part shown in the centre of the picture above [makes/models differ]. The base-unit should come as standard when you purchase your pendant alarm. It is the most important part of any telecare system, as it is the base-unit which places the call to a 24/7 telecare monitoring centre. Without it, your telecare sensors would not send an alert. If you don’t already have a pendant alarm system at home, you can purchase the base-unit along with any other telecare device, such as those listed on our telecare products page. With your base-unit in place, you can then add more telecare devices, if and when your elderly parent or loved one's care needs change.
*It is important to ask suppliers about telecare base-unit compatibility at the outset, before choosing your telecare system. This is because the number and type of telecare sensors that can connect to a particular base-unit will always depend on its make and model. TASK have a range of base-units and a wide range of telecare devices which connect to them, please contact us for further details.
