who care for an elderly loved one is that an accident or illness could leave
them without help for hours.
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, one out of three seniors
65 and older falls each year, and the chances of surviving a fall, stroke or
heart attack increases six times if you can get to that person within the
first hour.
An early detection and warning system called Quiet Care Plus made by ADT
is designed to identify potential problems before they become emergencies. It
uses motion detectors to monitor activities to determine if there's been any
change habits. The system sends regular updates to both caregivers and
monitoring professionals who are trained to deal with seniors and recognize
signs of a possible emergency.
