This week: Q & A on SimplyHome (part 1 of 5)

This week, each day, we answer a common question about SimplyHome.

Q: Does the system in include a Panic Pendant ("PERS")?

A: Yes-- but don't over-rate this device. The fact is, folks don't always have them handy, and in a case where say your elderly mother or handicapped brother can press the Panic Pendant button, on some level she or he is OK. The SimplyHome system is far more watchful-- you place one or more of our motion detectors (the system ships with one) around the residence.

Then using the SimplyHome web dashboard, you set a simple rule-- if mom or brother is not "Up & About" in the morning (as an example) say by 9 am, you and your wife get an email...and a cell phone text message.

This feature-- "Up & About"-- is one of many that makes SimplyHome far different-- we would say far better-- than traditional systems. The unblinking eye(s) of the motion detectors connected to you and your fellow caregivers vie email and cell phone text messaging helps deliver a high-confidence level of care, beyond that given by the resident pushing the panic pendant button-- if she or he can find it...and indeed is able to push it.
