Symptoms of illness such as orientation and recognition disorders,
the risk of falling and tendencies to wander off make looking after
patients with dementia in retirement and nursing homes more
difficult. HomeFree, the care system for the disoriented, enhances
the quality of life of the patients and gives them a safer radius of
action.
Communal areas within buildings, access and external doors as well as
open areas (terraces, garden etc.) are fitted with wireless monitoring
devices. These communicate with each other and with a central unit
(e.g. in the duty room) by radio. Since there is no need for any structural
work, HomeFree can be installed in existing installations at little cost
and adapted to changing requirements at any time.
