For this you need only for Magen Home Automation to install a health monitoring system in your mother’s home. Using strategically placed sensors, our systems collect the information you need. Computer programs process and analyze the information, combining it into easy to understand tables and charts. Our systems give you the data collected, as well as any deviations from normal routine which may indicate a problem. Data is also presented in such a way that you are not overwhelmed with unnecessary data; you don’t really want to know every time the refrigerator door was opened.

The information flows to you automatically, and is accessible wherever you are. Not only you get the information, but your brother in Moose Jaw and your sister in Cleveland can see it as well. Or other members of your mother’s support circle, including a local caregiver. Make a conference call and decide together what, if anything, should be done when things don’t seem right.

Many such systems, based on the “aging in place” concept are now available. Each geared to the particular needs and health problems that the senior suffers from. Magen will help you choose the one that is most suited to your situation.

Talk to your mom about this. You may be surprised how readily she accepts it; she may even be waiting to be asked. A 2007 survey by AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) revealed that over nine in ten say it is important for them to stay at home for as long as possible.

Our systems are discrete and non intrusive; people are normally oblivious to their presence. We rarely use cameras, as most seniors consider this an invasion of their privacy. However, cameras remain an option when acceptable to the senior.

To help you and your mother to think about her independent life style and evaluate it’s viability, take a few minutes to do the independent living assessment test designed by professionals of Boston University and sponsored by Philips

A monthly monitoring fee along with the purchase and installation cost, are a great saving over the cost of an assisted living facility. In most cases, postponing the move to a retirement or a nursing home by as little as six months, will cover the costs of the system.
