Best Patient Alarms of 2025

"My 94-year-old mom has dementia and often forgets she can't walk alone. The alarm going off as she sits at the edge of her bed has been a lifesaver for both of us. As I'm battling cancer, I truly need my sleep. This allows me to rest easy upstairs while knowing she's safe downstairs. The alarm has never failed to go off, working 100% of the time!"

"I've used the bed and chair alarm for just four days, and I already feel relieved. It quickly alerts me when my 97-year-old mother tries to get up, allowing me to monitor her without constantly running back and forth. While it sometimes goes off due to her restlessness, it reassures me to check on her. This peace of mind has made my nights much more restful!"

"This alarm has been a game-changer for us. Without it, my father-in-law would have fallen multiple times. The device is straightforward to install and works just as described. I have it set so he can reposition himself without triggering it, but it goes off the moment he tries to get out of bed. The loud alarm and vibration ensure I never miss it!"

"This is my 3rd monitor alarm and I wish I'd gotten it first! It's my favorite by far. I love that it has low and high volume choices and two sound options. The quick reset feature is a godsend. My mom often does a little bounce to get up, and with the other alarm, it was frustrating. This one is SO MUCH BETTER!"

"I bought this for an elderly person who kept trying to get up and falling. The alarm is loud enough for people in other rooms to hear. It worked wonders!"

"As a sleep walker, I've had numerous accidents. This product works! The mat goes under the mattress, making it hard to disable during a sleepwalking episode. I'm so glad I tried this!"

"I purchased the Bed & Chair Alarm System for my wife after her hip replacement and due to her moderate Alzheimer's. The product was easy to set up and has worked extremely well. I found Lunderg's customer service to be very accessible."

"We got this for my father in assisted living who was frequently falling. Unfortunately, it stopped working after just one month, which was disappointing. However, the company offered us a refund even outside the usual return timeframe. We decided to order another one and are hopeful it lasts longer."

"I recently acquired the Lunderg Bed Alarm & Chair Alarm System for an elderly family member. This set is designed to prevent falls and provides timely alerts, particularly for someone with dementia or mobility issues. The wireless sensor pads work seamlessly with the included pager, making it very convenient."

"This product is exactly what I needed for my elderly mother with dementia. It's easy to hear and I can switch between the alarm sound and music, which is much less annoying. I can also move it around easily."

"Taking care of my elderly mom with dementia has been challenging, but this alarm has calmed my anxiety. It alerts me immediately when she tries to stand, allowing me to check on her. It has truly made my life easier and reduced my daily stress."

"I bought this for my grandma, who has dementia and often sleeps in the recliner. Now, I can finally get some sleep without worrying about her wandering around at night. The high alarm setting is loud enough to alert me."

“I got this for my Mom who kept trying to stand up out of her wheelchair and falling. The alarm is loud enough that I can hear it from the other room and it's easy to reset when I forget to take it off before taking her to the bathroom. A helpful tip: I remove the magnet and hit reset when I'm not using it to save battery life, otherwise, the light keeps blinking.”

“I’ll admit, this was a white elephant gift for older people, but it works great. The alarm quality is decent, mainly plastic, but it functions as it should. It’s an affordable option that provides some sense of security.”

“Honestly, this product has great reviews but I’ve spent an hour trying to figure out how to stop the standby light from flashing all the time. It’s really annoying, especially for bedtime monitoring. If someone could tell me how to get it to stop, I’d change my review.”

“I purchased this for my 88-year-old mother who experiences confusion and has a broken femur. It’s perfect! I got two—one for the chair and one for the recliner. The music or alarm sound options are great, and I appreciate the volume setting.”

“We needed something to alert us if our elderly parent with dementia got up from her chair while we were busy. The bell we gave her wasn't effective since she often forgot to use it or tried to stand before we arrived. This device was incredibly simple to use—we clipped it to her clothing and attached the alarm to the chair. It’s highly portable, and we found the price reasonable enough to get a second one for another room.”

“After my husband had a pacemaker inserted, I ordered this alarm system similar to what was used in the hospital to prevent falls. The delivery was fast, but upon opening the box, I noticed a warning stating it's not for patients with a pacemaker. I returned it without trying it, but I hope my experience helps others avoid the same mistake.”

"I love that it gives me peace of mind knowing I will hear when my dad gets out of bed. It has lessened my anxiety and I've only had it for 2 days. I also love being able to change the alarm sounds. My bedroom is two rooms away and it still works even with doors closed."

"We’ve been using this bed alarm unit for several weeks and it’s already paid for itself in gold! The alarm tone works best to wake me easily at night. I moved the pad higher up toward the head of the bed, which solved the problem by sounding the alarm sooner. This alarm has been a blessing."

"I am so happy with this product. My mother is in end stages of life and was very confused. She kept getting out of bed on her own, and after a couple of falls, we were very concerned. With this alarm, any time she even sat up, the loud alarm went off, allowing us to safely assist her. I can now get the rest I need!"

"I became the caregiver for an elderly friend who had a stroke and now uses a wheelchair. He often forgets he can't walk and tries to get out of bed at night. We tried alarms that pin to his clothes, but they sometimes failed to alert in time. This bed alarm is a game changer; it sounds when he sits up and turns off if he lies back down. The option for alarm or music is a fantastic feature, and the batteries last longer than others we've tried. I definitely recommend this one!"

"I purchased this alarm to be alerted when my mother gets out of bed during the night. While it works well overall, I have a couple of minor issues. The indicator light is too bright for my liking, so I've had to cover it with gaff tape. Additionally, the music choice can be quite annoying. Despite these small concerns, I find it to be a solid product."

"My elderly mother often gets out of bed at night, and this alarm has been a perfect solution for notifying me from across the house. However, I've noticed that there were no straps included to secure it to the bed, leading to some bunching under her. I also received no instructions, so I had to figure it out on my own out of necessity. It could have easily been a five-star product with a few extra items included."

"So far, I'm very pleased with this product. It's super easy to set up and factory paired. Depending on my needs, I can use one or two motion sensors. The alarm is very loud and bright, which is great because I don’t want to sleep through it!"

"This alarm has been a life saver for us. We use it to know when our loved one with dementia gets out of bed. Now, the alarm goes off, allowing us to help him before any messes occur. However, I wish there were a light to indicate when the unit is turned on."

"I purchased this to wake me up when my wife gets out of bed. The unit was very easy to set up, and the range is great in our single-story house. The receiver is quite loud, even on the lowest setting, which is a bit overwhelming for me."

“I have two of these alarms and could not be more pleased! One is dedicated to monitoring my elderly parent in bed, while the other is for when they are watching TV. The portable alarm allows me to hear it even over the noise of the tractor while gardening. After five years of use, these monitors remain reliable and have only needed battery changes twice in three years. The alarm sound is loud, which is great for alerting me, but I keep it outside my bedroom to avoid startling me at night.”

“I found this motion sensor alert system to be a significant improvement over other devices. It’s not jarring like typical alarm systems, allowing me to monitor my dad without causing anxiety. The pager is loud, so I had to muffle it slightly, but it works effectively. I appreciate that it only alerts me when necessary, giving me peace of mind as my father can be at risk of falls.”

“This device is a must-have for caregivers of elderly relatives! I installed it near my 93-year-old mother's bed, ensuring I’m alerted immediately if she tries to get up. It’s crucial for preventing falls, especially since she has dementia. The sensitivity of the sensor is impressive, and I appreciate that it comes with batteries already installed.”
