Did you know that QuietCare and
PERS (Personal Emergency Response System) go hand in hand to
protect your loved one?
Your senior's PERS pendant is
important, but it's only the first step.
35% of all seniors fall in
their homes every year.
50% that have a PERS pendant wear it.
Of those wearing the PERS pendant, only 50% will use it in
an emergency (making it only 25% effective).
QuietCare's response -
100%. QuietCare calls for help every time,
even when your loved one can't.
QuietCare and PERS: A
symbiotic relationship
Just because a senior owns a
PERS pendant doesn't mean she'll use it. There are many
reasons why a senior may not use her PERS pendant to summon
help.
She's...
- Unable to access the
pendant
- Unable to press the
button
- Disoriented and doesn't
remember she has a pendant or how to use it
- Reluctant to bother
caregivers or embarrassed to use it
- Not wearing it
QuietCare automatically
calls for help after detecting that the senior has not moved
for over an hour. With QuietCare, you know your loved one
will get help even if she's unable to activate PERS.
Personal Emergency Response System (PERS)
Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) we offer to use is very unique in the industry. All existing PERS systems must be in reasonably close proximity to the base station to communicate with the person who answers a PERS request. This is likely a security monitoring station. This can be a problem if you have fallen in a room with a closed door or are just too far away to hear or be heard.
Our PERS has 2 way communications directly on the pendent. So your communication is as near as the pendent you are wearing. This means you will be able to talk directly with the person on the responding end of the system.
Another unique feature is that it does not require a monthly monitoring fee. When activated, the system will call 911 directly. It could also be programmed to call a loved one or a neighbor who may assist you quicker in the event you need assistance.
Although PERS can be purchased independently, any customer who purchases the QuietCare In-Home system will receive the PERS free. This will save you the monthly monitoring you may currently be paying for your PERS.
If you prefer to have a monitored PERS system we also offer a different monitored system for purchase.
The only drawback to any PERS system, including ours, is that the pendant absolutely must be worn at all times and the user must be conscious, capable and willing to push the button to seek assistance.
The system also depends upon the monitoring company and or 911 services ability to communicate clearly with your loved one to respond with the appropriate resources to handle the emergency.
If you want more complete and effective monitoring Quiet Care system gives you and emergency services the information you need without relying on direct communication with your loved one in times of emergency. It is the most advanced system on the market.
