Many times that just means “keeping an eye” on them as they go about their daily lives. What is a simple, unobtrusive way to keep you connected and them independent whether across town or across the country?
Caregivers are inundated with an overwhelming array of choices. There are emergency alert systems, senior alert systems, lifeline alert systems, GPS person trackers and so many other emergency alert bracelets, pendants and elderly alert systems products on the market today, it’s hard to know which one is right for you and your loved one! Sadly, most systems are purchased by the caregiver then not used by the recipient because they appear too much like a personal clinical emergency alert system for the elderly.
At Theora Care, we met with people all over the country to ensure we developed the most useful and affordable non-clinical technology possible to enable care partners to provide better care by giving them better information around how and when a loved one might need attention, not just where they are. We paid attention to making it stylish, comfortable and fun to wear. And, we have learned some delightful ways to encourage our loved ones to wear them.
Theora Connect™ is a wristwatch-style wearable designed with both the caregiver and care recipient in mind, incorporating a cell phone and a personal GPS tracking device into an attractive, familiar design. The Theora Link Pro™ Smartphone App works with the Theora Connect wearable to gather data, and notify care partners of changes in activity or behavioral patterns that could indicate other conditions that may need attention.
Theora Care can bring you a new peace of mind, especially for remote care partners. With Theora Connect, care partners can see location and condition of their loved ones regardless of location. It provides helpful, additional information:
Respite care – know how your loved one is doing in respite care while you get that needed break. Are their activities similar to what they do normally? Are they engaged and where they should be? Safe zones can be configured around the respite care so you know where they are at all times. And, you can communicate with them at any time with the Quik Connect™ feature.
Monitor professional caregivers – is your loved one active, on their regular routine, or are there changes in behavior – like getting up in the middle of the night – that their caregiver should know about? With Theora Care solutions, location and condition data is collected and analyzed so that you and the professional care team know when changes occur and helpful adjustments are needed.
Peace of mind – for both you and your loved one, even if you are a remote caregiver. Your loved one knows you and Theora are keeping an eye on them, and can spot changes that they may not have noticed. With the Quik Connect feature, you can be in direct communication to help resolve situations and bring help quickly. Unlike many emergency life alerts for seniors or elder tracking products that rely on call centers to resolve problems, we believe that the family or professional caregiver is the best first responder, and can better understand the situation and remedy any problems.
Every day we strive to make caregiving a little better and easier.
We are grateful when our families tell us we did just that. Thank you!
