Protect and Monitor Your Senior Loved Ones with BrickHouse Alert and WanderAlert
Aging is a natural part of life. Unfortunately, with the wisdom and experience of age comes greater risks simply from living day-to-day life, such as falling or experiencing medical emergencies. As we all know, whether we’re seniors ourselves or have loved ones experiencing aging, there are ways to mitigate this risk and reassure our friends, family members, family caregivers, and caregivers that we’re doing okay. Monitoring, emergency alerts, fall detection devices, and location trackers are just a few of the technologies and techniques we use to ensure the safety of ourselves and the senior citizens, elderly parents, aging parents, and elderly loved ones we care about. These solutions help protect loved ones, support independence, and provide peace of mind for every person involved.
At BrickHouse Security, we aim to solve these problems with compassion, safety, and efficiency. Services that we offer, such as BrickHouse Alert and WanderAlert, combine our technical know-how with our years of expertise in security and safety.
BrickHouse Alert consists of both wearable devices and in-home alert devices, known as a mobile personal emergency response system (MPERS), which allow for immediate notifications to our call center and to emergency services in the event of an injury, fall, fire, or other critical situation, once the user alerts the call center through the simple push of a button on their device. BrickHouse Alert is a type of personal emergency response system (PERS) designed to provide immediate assistance in the event of a fall or medical emergency, helping to alert caregivers and emergency responders if a person has fallen or is at risk of falling.
WanderAlert includes additional safety measures, tailored to high-risk individuals such as those living with dementia, that ensure a family member, family caregiver, or caregiver can always know the whereabouts of the senior citizens, elderly loved ones, or aging parents they care for. The system is monitored and can alert caregivers and family members in real time, providing peace of mind for family caregivers and support for elderly loved ones. In all cases, these services can be enormously beneficial for families, family members, caregivers, staff in care homes, and of course the senior citizens themselves.
The features of the wearable and in-home alert devices are as follows:
- Emergency Call Button
- Instant Response from 24/7 Call Center
- Portable
- Reliable
- Water-resistant and Durable
- Fall detection and motion sensors to automatically alert caregivers and emergency responders if a fall or other emergency is detected
- Health monitoring capabilities to track health metrics such as heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar, with data that can be shared with a doctor or healthcare provider for better care
- Ability to store emergency phone numbers for quick access to help
- And, with WanderAlert only, instant location updates for the caretaker
- These senior monitoring devices, fall detection devices, and wearable devices are user friendly and designed to be easily used by any elderly person, aging parent, or elderly loved one.
- The user friendly design and integration of technology make it easier for caregivers and family caregivers to monitor and support their elderly loved ones, while also providing support and assistance to family members.

And there are several accessories available to improve the product as well, such as lanyards and carrying pouches for ease of transport. With WanderAlert, a great deal is added to these features. This service allows you to identify a “safe” region that if the user of WanderAlert exits, the caretakers will receive instant notification. With the location finder, targeting their whereabouts will then pose no problems.
Home safety modifications are also important for seniors and elderly loved ones. Removing tripping hazards, installing secure handrails, and using non-slip mats on bathroom floors can help prevent falls and injuries. Environmental monitoring in a senior's home, including sensors for carbon monoxide and other hazards, further protects elderly parents and aging parents from harm.
These technologies and other systems work together to support the independence and well-being of elderly loved ones, allowing them to maintain their routines and stay connected to their community. The progress in health monitoring technology means that these devices can track important health metrics and share data with a healthcare provider or doctor, improving care and safety. It is important to consider the individual needs and specific needs of each person when selecting a senior monitoring device or system, ensuring the best fit for their health, safety, and independence.
Medical alert systems and fall detection devices provide immediate assistance and alert caregivers or emergency responders if a person has fallen, is at risk of falling, or needs help. These systems help maintain the independence of seniors and elderly loved ones, allowing them to live safely in their own homes. These solutions are beneficial for families, family members, and caregivers who want to protect loved ones and ensure their well-being.
