PEACE OF MIND PROJECT Reassurance and security for Carers A joint project between Eden Carers and Eden Community Alarms This project grew out of the Carers Assessment project. We frequently encountered carers who lived very isolated lives, afraid to leave their cared-for alone for any length of time in case they had a fall. We worked together with Eden Community Alarms to develop the Peace of Mind Project to provide the cared-for with an alarm and/or fall detector to enable the carer to feel confident enough to be able to leave them alone. This could even mean leaving the cared-for long enough to go to the shops, hairdressers, or for a meal with friends. We also decided that former carers, living alone for the first time in their lives when the cared-for goes into residential care, should be eligible for a fall detector themselves. The alarm provides help and security at the touch of a button, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. A pendant, usually worn around the neck will work in the client's home or garden. When pressed the alarm automatically calls through to the Control Centre, which is answered by highly trained operators who can talk to the client to discover if they need assistance. The fall detector is a small device worn on the waistband, which linking into the alarm can automatically detect if a fall has occurred. The installation costs have been covered by the Project, and so the cost to the client is the monitoring fee of only £2.53 per week.
