An estimated 6.5 million senior citizens live alone, which is projected to cross
over 13 million by the year 2020. Safety in the
home is a major predicament for elderly persons living alone and there is no
doubt that the fear of crime causes tremendous isolation and anxiety. For those
who live alone, the consequences of accidents can be considerably more serious
than for older people who have someone continually available to monitor their
safety.
Monitoring the well being of a senior such as an aging parent, elderly spouse or
friend presents difficult challenges and can be tricky when a person has to
balance their own family, job and obligations. Despite the fact that a person
may talk to the senior periodically, it is almost unlikely that they will check
in daily at preset times (example: morning and evening) to ensure the persons
well being.
Using RedToll, family members can be monitored with the intent of making
sure that the individual is checked on and reported, in case situations come
up.
Check in on elder’s caregiver
Elders who have caregivers should also be checked on to make sure that the
caregiver is there when they are supposed to be.
With RedToll, caregiver’s presence can be verified at preset time s to ensure
their presence and report to you in case of no response.
