My husband went to Harbor Freight and bought a surveillance camera and a driveway monitor, and we have put them in her room. I was having to check on her every 15 minutes because she would try to get up out of bed and I was afraid she would go out the house. Those two items have kept us from going crazy ourselves. They really work. My husband put the camera on her dresser and the monitor in his study across the hall from her and he sees everything that goes on and then if he sees something wrong he goes to her. The driveway monitor is for her trying to get out of bed. We have a hospital bed with bed rails. That helps me alot because the rising of the bed. Just a thought. They really were a life saver for us. My husband is 75 and I am 62 and Mother is 89.
