Sammons Preston has been a trusted name in adaptive homecare for over 50 years. The Fall Management Alarm is a straightforward tool designed for one specific job: alerting caregivers when someone attempts to get out of bed unassisted. At 105 decibels, the alarm is loud enough to be heard across the house or through a closed door, which matters more than any marketing claim.

The alarm uses a simple touch control system. You place it on a tabletop or mount it to the bed frame, attach the sensor cord to the user’s clothing, and it monitors for tension. If the person sits up or moves too far, the alarm sounds immediately. It runs on a single 9V lithium battery, which provides reliable power without frequent changes. The setup takes under a minute.

One limitation worth noting: the touch control is basic, not programmable. You cannot adjust sensitivity or set a delay before the alarm triggers. That means accidental movements or repositioning can set it off. For caregivers who need a no-fuss alert system for nighttime safety, it works. Just plan for occasional false alarms.
