Dementia Couple Case Study in Warrington

Margaret is a 77 year old female who is suffering from advanced dementia. She lives with her husband in their owner occupied house. Margaret tends to like to go to bed early and this gives her husband some time to himself to relax downstairs.

The presenting issues are that Margaret regularly gets out of bed and finds her way downstairs; her husband has some hearing loss so is usually unaware that she is out of bed until she is behind him in the lounge. He is finding it increasing hard to be able to relax in the evening because of the constant worry of Margaret falling down the stairs.

Warrington Carecall Community Services conducted at telecare assessment and recommended that the Chubb Carer Alert and a pressure on sensor and pressure mat was installed.

The pressure on mat was fitted next to Margaret’s bed which activates the Carer Alert as soon as Margaret puts her legs out of bed onto the pressure mat. This enables her husband to go upstairs and settle Margaret back to bed before she puts herself at risk on the stairs. The equipment was installed in July 2008.

Margaret’s husband now feels able to relax again in the evening knowing that the Carer Alert will let him know if Margaret is out of bed.
