I bought this alarm for my Mom so I would wake up when she tries to get out of the bed during the night. I didn’t want one of the bed pad alarms because if you lift up any to turn over, they will alarm. This one is really simple. No buttons on the outside for a confused person to switch off and it lets her be able to turn over without sounding the alarm. I put the alligator clip on the back of her shirt towards the neck or shoulder. Out of sight, out of mind. If she scoots to the foot of the bed, it will pull the magnets apart causing the alarm to sound. As far as I’m concerned, it paid for itself the first night when she was attempting to get up.

This thing works exactly as described – and is a great backup to the seat pad alarm we use in conjunction. (Holy smokes, is it loud.) The one thing it really needs is a re-set button for when I can’t get the magnet replaced quickly. If it had a button I could push that would put it on pause for a minute or so, it’d be a big help.

Great bed alarm. So loud and doesn’t require a pad that sets of the alarm whenever you move.

I just got this simple alarm. I will be using it on my husband’s chair to alert me when he stands. He looses his balance easily when going from a sitting position to standing. If placed right it can be very inobtrusive and I can see that it will work very well for my purpose.

Bought this for my mom & it works great! Wakes my dad up when she tries to get out of bed in the early morning to use the bathroom so then he can help her so she doesn’t fall. It is very loud! I have him clip it to the back of her shirt up by the neck & then she is free to turn over in bed without it getting wrapped around her & also she can’t reach it to unclip it! Definitely worth the purchase in keeping loved ones safe!

Great value if you don’t lose your mind trying to get the cover over the battery. Took 3 people to figure out to rip out the black sponge that is glued in the unit that prevents the cover from sliding over it. Did come with a battery included. Good item to have for someone who needs help getting in/out of bed or a chair, but forgets due to dementia.

This gadget clips to almost anything and the easily attaches to your loved ones shirt. If the person moves beyond the length of cord which is adjustable, the alarm goes off and it’s loud. Works great, really love it.

I have been trying to figure out how to know when my 92yo father with dementia gets up from bed. You wouldn’t think it. He really can’t walk, is weak and sleeps most of the time, but for some reason, in the middle of the night he wakes up and starts running to the bathroom like a rabbit. Of course it’s a rabbit that falls flat on his face in a pool of urine. I tried bed pads, monitors etc but this simple little thing is super effective and doesn’t break like the pads do. The only thing is that you have to be a bit sneaky as to where you attach the clip on his clothes, because he has disconnected it 1 time.
