Paula keeps close track on her aging mom, Bea. Paula knows when her mom gets up to fix breakfast, when she takes the medicine, even the temperature inside her Fort Myers home. She does this not from down the hall, but from across the state. From the east coast each morning, Paula gets an Email from QuietCare and logs onto her computer.
Quiet Care is a home monitoring system, which has been on the market for just a few years. It is among the rapidly emerging technology that could revolutionize the aging in America over the next several years.
Quietcare uses motion sensors, strategically mounted in the home which upload information to a computer that analyzes the data of each individual senior for signs of injury or the onset of illness. If there is an indicator that brings to light a concern, Paula calls to check on her mom.
If there is an indication of a fall or other immediate danger, QuietCare trained personnel call the home to talk to rule out a false alarm before they call the first responders or 911.
"Mom was always adamant she was going to stay in her home, but we could not afford to have someone stay with mom all the time. With QuietCare monitoring mom 24 hours a day and Comfort Keepers helping mom several times a week, we have an affordable solution to allow mom to age in place at home and let us know mom is doing ok."
