Aging in Place – Wellness Solutions

Stay at home longer using modern technology

A 24/7 safety net

More than just an emergency button

Our Alarm.com powered Wellness solutions offer secure and cost-effective options for independent living with safety, security, and comfort.

We offer multiple affordable DIY solutions that can be customized for your loved one’s situation. Easily build on the solution as needed.

No expensive leased equipment, no long-term monitoring commitment.

Peace of mind with monitoring & alerts

Family members and caregivers can now monitor their loved-one’s activity, such as how much time is spent in bed, in a favorite chair or out of the house. And, with intelligent sensors to track and learn the home’s activities of daily living, Wellness can identify anomalies that may signify a problem.

More comprehensive than traditional Personal Emergency Response (PERS) wearable pendants, Alarm.com Wellness is a safety net that provides a more complete view of a loved one’s well-being, and delivers automatic, real-time alerts. Unlike a PERS button, Alarm.com Wellness does not rely on the individual to take an action or remember to keep the button with them. With additional information like inactivity alerts or unusual activity patterns your existing PERS system can be enhanced to provide a more comprehensive solution.

When to consider a Wellness solution

Your family members want to stay home as they age, but want the security of knowing someone is watching out for them.
You worry that something has happened when your aging family member doesn’t stay in touch.

A family member has had a recent illness that requires some extra care, but can’t afford expensive assisted living.
You want a safety net for active and healthy aging family members.

Key Fact:

According to the National Council on Aging only 20% of falls at home occur when a PERS equipped individual is actually wearing their emergency pendant!

Family Motivation Factors

Increase safety, reduce hospitalizations and care costs by supporting the following risks:

Fall risk and Mobility challenges
Wandering / Elopement
Nightime safety
Regular meals and snacks
Bathroom frequency

View Key Behaviors

Compare one’s daily activities against all other days in the home (their baseline routine). This includes activities such as Total Sleep Time, Number of Bathroom Visits, Wake Up Time, and Overall Activity Level. Comparison against the baseline is color coded for quick reference: Unusual (Red), Notable Change (Yellow), or Routine (Green).

Identify Trends

Identify trends of notable change in routine. Behaviors marked in Yellow rather than Green over time will indicate a change in baseline routine or decline. The ability to identify behavioral changes proactively can better guide family members and doctors of potential modification of care at home.
