Hi,

 

I assessed a lady with 5 year progressed MND yesterday who has that 10% association of Dementia with MND. All that she wants and is possibly capable of is a single switch attention calling device from bed. She cannot speak, husband is in a separate room and hard of hearing. She has limited dexterity and strength so a buddy button would be a good starting point, but may need to have an alternative easier to press switch in the future.

 

A Mini3 would seem an expensive solution.

A wireless doorbell is too hard to press.

Connevans Pager is a bit of a complex system.

 

What would people’s current way of solving this be?

 

Many thanks,
