My wife has FTD with aphasia. I never know when she gets up while I am sleeping. I am afraid she will try to go out while I am asleep. I have looked for an alarm system that would wake me if she tries to go out while I am sleeping. I need an entire system with door alarms, perhaps a door mat type with a bed shaker with an audible that would make enough noise and a light flasher. It would have to be at least 100 db for me to hear it without my aids. And expandable in the future. I am open to look into nearly anything. Currently I am looking for chain guard with alarm for use while I am awake. Anyone have any experience with anything like this?
Logan179, Thank you also for your continued searches. All of the help has helped me get my mind going with something besides worry about her.
She is slipping deeper into this monster. She cannot form a sentence longer that three or four words, if she is lucky. Plus English is not her original language and I don't know enough of it to be of much help but, I try and we are still going.
And to anyone I may have missed, THANK YOU as well.
And to Ashley White for helping me get my log in fixed.
The Navy has term for all of the good work. "Bravo Zulu", it means a job well done to all who participated and it fits here.
It's something to try under a whole house alarm system is found. Or for those who are caregivers that find such alarm systems too complex to use. No guarantee the black rug will work.
Let's see if we can find that person and let her know about the one from Bellman and Symfon.
Thanks again for your help.
There is a central alarm that will transmit to a pager, which I carry all of the time, from any of the transmitters. I have put alarms on on the doors. The door monitors do not make a noise so as not to cause the patient any distress but sounds the central unit as well as the pager.
I figure if she gets worse I can expand it to include bed alarm and a mat alarm for the shower since she no longer knows how to adjust the temp and may not remove her clothing to bathe.
I does not have a cabinet alarm to prevent her from getting into the meds but I have found cabinet locks and will order them soon.
I also installed Flip Locks on the doors so I can take a bath and relax. She escaped once and I found her about a mile away sitting at a traffic light. I unlock the flip locks for safety should an emergency occur.
Thanks you for your replies.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I would look into the alarms that are used by the deaf. They cannot hear bells and alarms, their systems include flashing high intensity lights and vibrating devices.
