Smart Caregiver Pager System with 2 Call Buttons for Elderly Assistance, Fall Prevention, and Nurse Calling | Wearable Wireless Pager for Patient Help at Home | USA-Based Company and Customer Support

My husband had hip replacement surgery this month and this pager system is just what we needed. It works really well. I was able to sweep leaves in the yard and hear it to know he needed my help in the house. Great product.

Highly recommend

Dad said it worked a little too good 😊.

This is a VERY useful product. My wife just had major surgery, and has been mostly bed-ridden. I work from a home office, and need her to be able to reach me on short notice from the opposite corner of our 1,200 sqft apartment.My first thought when considering this product was "Why would I need something like this when my wife can just text me or call me on our cell phones?". Good question....then I realized that doing this would require several steps: find the phone - unlock the phone - navigate to my cell phone number - enter a text/call me...In an emergency, this would present WAY too many steps. Once I went through this expected chain of events, I placed an order for the Smart Caregiver product.Amazingly enough, I ordered the product on the day my wife was being discharged from the hospital, and was presented with the option of same day delivery. I figured I'd accept this option, just to see what the charge would be, and was amazed to find out same day delivery would be at no charge. Excellent!When we got her home, I placed one of the transmitters near her bed, and the other in her bathroom, and carried the remote pager with me. Since I was required to be with her whenever she needed to get out of the bed, these locations made sense. We didn't use the clips provided - not because they're not useful (screws and double-side tape are provided), but just because we haven't gotten around to selecting appropriate mounting locations.She was initially hesitant to embrace this new "gadget", as in "Do we REALLY need another electronic thing?!", but all it took was once punch of the call button to realize that this was a LOT easier, convenient, and most of all, FASTER than using the cell phone to reach me.The "Pager" receiver has two sounds it can make, and these are selected with a sliding button on the pager itself. The first is a standard "Ding - Dong" of an old doorbell. Pressing the call button results in two Ding-Dong sounds, and then stops. This sound was sufficiently loud to get my attention from every situation I had around the house, including talking on a conference call with a headset, watching TV in another room, etc..The second sound is a warbling alarm - think siren. When this alarm is selected, it sounds and does not stop until you turn it off on the pager. I have used this sound when I knew I'd be deeply involved in an activity, like showering, using a vacuum cleaner, or otherwise engaged in a louder task. The alarm absolutely gets your attention.The range is quoted as 500 feet, but we haven't tested this since our apartment is nowhere near that large, but I can say I've had the pager clipped to my belt and gone outside to walk our dogs, and it's reached me 5 stories down and a couple hundred feet away.So, why not 5 stars? Well, the belt clip is useful, but I have found the pager can be bumped off my belt a little too easily. In addition, the pager is made of hard (read - possible too easy to crack) plastic, and the couple of times it's fallen from my belt, I've worried it would break. In fact, both time, the battery cover popped off.Other things that I'd suggest improving are the batteries for the call buttons: they are special types, not normally available. I suppose this battery was chosen for its small size, but given the size of the button, I would imagine a normal AAA could be used.We've also hung one of the pagers near the shower stall via the included lanyard. As she has recuperated, she's been able to take her own showers, but the risk of slipping is high, so being able to place a call button near the shower is called for. The button is not waterproof or even water resistant, so I've wrapped in in a plastic bag. This seems to have worked so far. Making an accessory to allow for use in a wet environment would be a good idea.Having said all this, we feel strongly that this is a very good product, well worth the money, and will certainly continue to use it long after my wife has fully recovered from her surgery. Highly recommended.

Perfect for my mother, who lives downstairs, when she needs help. One on the side of her bed and one in the bathroom. Works great and loud upstairs where I can hear it.

Very useful

This review that replaces two previous ones. I now have more experience with this product, so I have changed my opinion a couple of times and ended up with my original rating of unreliable.After over one month of use, I found that the product remained unreliable even after I retuned the signaling units, as described later. The signaling units tend to drift and need to be retuned often. When the button is pushed, the light comes on, but the signal isn’t received by the unit that sounds the alarm. I found that I could fix this by retuning the signaling device, so I changed my initial review since I thought that the problem was solved, but it wasn’t. The signaling devices continued to fail and need retuning, so I cannot recommend this product to anyone who needs a reliable way for someone to call for assistance.This is how the signaling device can be retuned if you have this product and want to struggle with it rather than get something more reliable. When you open the signaling unit (the one with the button) you'll see a small plastic piece near the battery. At the top is a small screw, and inside is a coil. The screw seems to be a way to adjust the induction of the coil that probably governs the frequency of the clock that drives the circuitry. I found that turning the screw a bit made the device work much better. So if you have a problem with the light coming on when you push the button but nothing happenings at the receiver end (i.e. no ding dong) you should try this. Turn the screw in a slight bit, and try it. Turn in in a bit more, and try it. If this doesn't work, try turning the screw out. At some point, you should succeed. It's a pretty crude way to build circuitry, more like a relic from the 1950s, but the rest of the circuitry looks relatively modern.My overall recommendation is to buy something else.

Bought this to use for my family member who is disabled. The unit does not sound consistently. When the button is pressed it sometimesworks and then doesn't. Can not rely on it as it puts my loved one at risk. This was my second set as the first set also malfunctioned.
