The same morning, experienced four ways
It's gone eleven and there's been no movement in the kitchen. She's usually in there by nine. What do you hear?

“No kitchen activity yet today. She's usually in there by nine.”
A note to the Carer Group.
Personal alarm
Nothing.
Nobody pressed anything, so there’s nothing to report.
Cameras
Depends where it’s pointing.
Cameras tend to cover the front door or living room, rarely a bedroom or bathroom.
Check-in call
“I’m fine, love.”
If she picks up, you hear what she chooses to say.

Getting help in an emergency is a different job
Rembient doesn't respond to falls or call anyone for help, and it isn't a medical device. If your parent might need urgent help, keep a personal alarm as well; the two work well together. In an emergency, call 000.
