Just checking in on you meaning trial#
at the moment it is free as I believe we get it on loan to see if it helps but the OT has said he may be able to get the company to extend this (we've had it for about 6 weeks so far and haven't been told it can't stay.) After the trial period you can hire it anyway so either way it will definitely be staying! It is so useful and well worth you looking into. I have attached a link to the 'Just Checking' website as I don't actually know if it is just local to us but if it is there might be something similar near you. Although you don't actually see what he is doing we feel that this system gives us a lot more peace of mind as we also know when he is going out and how long he is out for and if we see activity that worries us, we pretend a friend saw him out and ask him where he was going - usually we then find out where he's been and if it is somewhere we don't want him to go we can challenge him!
Also you can tell if he has gone into a room and not come out again - so we can work out when he has gone to bed or even if he has fallen asleep on the sofa (if he is in the lounge and not moved for a very long time!) Alternatively if we worried that he might have fallen becuase there has been no movement we can ring him to check on him - and if we get no answer we know that someone needs to go out and check on him. We have been given login info and can log in to our 'account' at anytime and see what Dad has been doing (ie if he has gone out and whereabouts in the flat he has spent time) It shows you a line to indicate movement in a certain room, we have the lounge, bathroom, bedroom and kitchen and a door sensor that shows the door opening and closing. This monitors movement rather than transmitting images or sounds. Hi Chas, our Dad's Occupational Therapist arranged for a system called 'just checking' to be installed in Dad's flat.
