Mobile Personal Alarm: Winter Protection for Loved-Ones on the Go

As the colder months arrive, the risk of falls can increase due to icy conditions, shorter days, and bulky clothing, which can create concern for you and your loved ones. However, no one wants their independence limited or to increase anxiety about enjoying their usual routine, hobbies, and activities.

It’s completely understandable that changing weather conditions make you more worried about your loved ones leaving the house in winter, especially with the larger number of older adults who feel the urge to stay at home and isolate themselves. While staying safe is vital, it’s important to remember that reducing mobility and activity can sometimes cause more long-term issues than it solves. That’s why it’s so important to stay active and continue enjoying the activities and hobbies you love as much as you can.

What Can Be Done To Help?

The Out and About Watch gives you the confidence to still enjoy doing everything you love. It helps both the individual and their family know that even in the unfortunate circumstance that help is needed, it can be summoned instantly at the push of a button or automatically via the built-in hard fall detection aid. This small device makes a big difference, helping you continue living a confident and independent life.

Is Now The Right Time To Get An Out and About Watch?

Sometimes, the transition to needing support isn’t marked by a sudden event, but by subtle shifts in routine and behaviour. There are a number of behaviour changes that you can look out for in your loved ones that might indicate they need a little extra confidence and reassurance to maintain their independence.

Keep an eye out for signs such as becoming a little more confused or tired than usual, struggling with walking or movement, reduced interest in food or activities, or a tendency towards social withdrawal or neglect.

Recognising these small changes early means you can provide discreet support, ensuring they can continue living an independent life with minimal change. Want to know more about what to look out for? Check out our blog – Top 5 Signs It’s Time for a Telecare Solution for Your Parent. *link here*
