SafetyChoice® Products

SafetyChoice by Comfort Keepers® Products

The SafetyChoice suite of technology solutions helps seniors live independently and safely at home, 24 hours a day, even when caregivers cannot be present. These products include:

Personal Emergency Response System (PERS)

The SafetyChoice® PERS allows seniors to easily summon emergency help at home when a caregiver is not present. All it takes is a simple push of a button on a console, or a pendant or wrist band that can be worn for easy access. A response professional at Comfort Keepers’ 24-hour Centralized Monitoring Station will answer the call through the two-way, tabletop PERS console, determine the nature of the call, dispatch help appropriate to the situation—an ambulance, neighbor, family or friend and stay on the line to reassure the senior until help arrives.

Door and Window Sensors

These sensors can be programmed to signal the Comfort Keepers monitoring station when a door or window is opened. They promote security for seniors as well as detect wandering of persons with dementia. When an alarm sounds, monitoring station personnel will alert people on the subscriber's responder list. The sensors can be turned off during the day.

 

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

In the event of fire or release of harmful, but odorless, carbon monoxide, these detectors signal the Comfort Keepers monitoring station to dispatch the local fire department. The detectors also sound in the home, and voice contact will be made through the two-way communication feature of the PERS to make certain the client and caregiver are aware of the situation and leave the residence.

Bedside Pressure Mats

When pressure is applied to them, these wireless floor mats send out an alarm in the home and to the Comfort Keepers monitoring station to alert designated responders. The mats can be placed at bedside or other critical areas of the home and are ideal for monitoring the safety of people who are at risk of falling or wandering due to dementia.

 

Around-the-Clock Monitoring Center

Comfort Keepers’ SafetyChoice Centralized Monitoring Station (CMS) never sleeps. Our caring, professional CMS operators are ready 24 hours a day to respond immediately to alarms received through our clients’ SafetyChoice in-home safety technology devices, including:
