An optional longer cord? Self-adhesive low grip velcro pads for attachment of controller to any chair surface. Perhaps a continuous warning tone?

This is the best thing since sliced bread!!! It works every time and I can go clean in another room and as soon as he tries to stand up the thing goes off. He has had a stroke then got covid and had a heart attack and is too weak to walk by himself. This allows me to get to him before he stats to walk. The alarm is loud and works perfectly.

Will not reset unless you hit the reset button 40 or 50 times. They will not take it back either. Waste of money

I have sent 2 of these back and now the 3rd one stopped working. They’re great in the beginning but after a few weeks use the alarm takes longer and longer to go off. My dad is 84 years old, prone to falls, & has dementia. This is a safety hazard as he can get to another room before the alarm sounds. I’m very disappointed because when it did work it was great & he couldn’t figure out how to turn it off.

Its working fine, but the product encourages use of an AC cord but does not provide one. I bought it because I thought it had one.

We needed help knowing when mom was getting out of bed since she forgets she needs assistance. The alarm works well when placed at hip level under the sheets. It also alerts once if she shifts her weight. Great for home caregivers and the battery has lasted well over 2 months so far

So far it's the most reliable device I've tried. The string type alarms are easily defeated by Alzheimer's patients. My mother has unclipped the string from her clothing and when attached to the back of the shirt it leaves enough slack when she has pulled her shirt off the alarm string doesn't detach from the alarm. The only cons about this type of alarm is that the pads have to be replaced once or twice a year and every time I pick her up with the Hoyer lift the alarm goes off and I have to push the reset button 4 or 5 times rapidly to reset it (instructions says it only takes 3 times). The only way to keep the alarm from going off is to unplug the pressure pad cord from the alarm and I used to do that but I found after all the rigamarole with the Hoyer I have forgotten to plug it back in. So I learned to put up with it. I had a set of voice activated walkie talkies and when I have to walk out of range of hearing the alarm I use them to hear the alarm.

I would rate this alarm similar to your doorbell buzzer. . . if that. As a caregiver, if you fall asleep and the patient gets out of bed, triggering the alarm, it may only wake you if you are in the same room, and a light sleeper. It is not loud enough to wake you, and shouldn't be counted on if the alerted response is mandatory. It would be fine to use if you are awake and in an adjacent room to the patient. The manufacturer's claim of 120 decibels is utterly ridiculous! 120 decibels is ear-splitting. It is like sitting in the front row of a rock concert. . . you could not hear yourself talk. I like everything else about this unit.
