I am wondering where I could get a mat that is able to activate a voice command for ‘go back to bed now’ – do you have something like this available? Safety is an issue especially at night. The client's husband is stuggling to keep her safe when she wanders out of the bedroom when he is sleeping soundly. Although he has some extra security at the doors, an extra device would be helpful. The husband does not use any smart phones or computers so options for keeping her safe that he is comfortable with are limited. Also, what about a simple door alarm?

<p>Nighttime wandering can be dangerous for seniors who are vulnerable to falls or may become disoriented. It can be incredibly stressful for caregivers to balance their own sleep with keeping their loved ones safe during the night. Thankfully, there are several technologies that aim to address this challenge by responding to the individual exiting bed. With technologies such as these, it’s best to consult a registered healthcare professional to identify safety considerations. It’s also a good idea to obtain consent from the individual or their substitute decision-maker for use of these devices. Please note that while these devices are intended to reduce the risk of wandering, nothing can prevent this behaviour entirely.</p> <p>While many products out there attempt to alert using beeps or chimes, only a couple offer a voice alert – either recorded or programmed – that plays aloud to the individual leaving the bed.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Microsound-Activated-Reminder-Welcome-Supermarket/dp/B07FCHRH8P/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=Mini+PIR+Motion+Activated+Audio+Player&qid=1588118932&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExV0xRS05QM1BESjc2JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODgwNTgxNVNJSkVTQUlSUzUxJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA5MjI0NzMzR1BDQzVBUkUxVkNCJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==" target="_blank">PIR Motion Sensor Audio Player</a> by Waytronic (at <em>Amazon Canada</em>) plays an audio message when activated by motion.
