An anonymous caregiver asked...
My elderly mother lives with my sister and has been prone to falls primarily during the night. We are looking into getting a alarm to alert my sister when our mother gets up in the middle of the night. My question is with all the products out there which one rises to the top as the best?

I stumbled up this company that sells fall prevention alarms. Their alarms and pads come with a long warranty and they are very durable. I have used several fall prevention products in my facilities. They are generally cheap and have short lives. Check out this website, www.nursealarmsystems.com
