Vive Magnet Pull Cord Chair Alarm for Elderly Adults - Bed Alarm - Fall Prevention for Elderly Dementia Patients - String Exit Alert Detection for Caregivers Monitoring Seniors - Batteries Included

This is a snap to install. First, insert the included battery into the monitor portion. Second, attach the monitor portion to the bed, chair, wall, etc. There are several mounting options. Third, attach the magnet to the front of the monitor. Fourth, attach the magnetic portion to the patient. When the patient stands up or moves, the magnetic connection breaks, which causes the unit to alarm. And, the alarm is LOUD.Works great.

This takes 9 volt batteries. That adds an expense to ongoing use of this, and I'm not happy with how hard it is to get the batteries in and out - I couldn't do it at all and had to get help because the battery compartment is so tight. Once you get the battery in it it works well. The lead is held on with a magnetic connector and when it's pulled off you can choose to either have loud or soft music or alarm. The music plays it's a small small world. The alarm is very obnoxious and I'm loud will wake my whole house up.It has a reset button, that turns the alarm off and reset it if you want. I like that it has a low battery light indicator and that you can turn it completely off at times. You used to reset button to do that because there's no on and off switch but it's easy to do. It's very intuitive to figure out it's operation and use. My little dementia man is too constantly up down up down up down to really use this, but it comes in handy when he does sleep and I'm so tired that I KNOW I am going to nap too.

I'll be honest up front, this was a white elephant gift for older people and it works great for that. The quality of the alarm is good not great, mainly plastic. It functions as it should and is an affordable option to provide some sens eof security.

The media could not be loaded.  Wow! This thing is loud. I was looking for a small portable alarm for my elderly Mother in Law who has moved in with us. Just in the case of an emergency in the bathroom or her bedroom we would have a device for her to alert us.I like that it can be moved around easily and it is very simple to operate. It takes a 9 volt battery and is ready to go. Hopefully we will never have to use it, but it is nice to have piece of mind in the event of an emergency.
