They have ‘em for chairs and beds, too. Mom’s assisted living place used them.I did find this cool floor pressure mat alarm that we're thinking about getting. That way we wouldn't have to wait until we hear cowbells to know that Dad is on the move.

Awesome! That's great to know.
Part of our problem is that Dad hasn't kept any kind of a schedule since he retired nearly 30 years ago, so he's pretty set in his ways about keeping whatever hours tickle his fancy. Sometimes he's up all day and sleeps all night, sometimes he's up all night and sleeps all day, and sometimes he naps off and on 24/7 on days on end. But now that he's sick, the lack of some semblance of a schedule makes it a bit of a challenge to try to anticipate when he's going to be up and about. Hopefully getting some of those mats, and putting some cowbells on his walker and shopkeeper bells on the doors will help to alert us when he's on the move, especially if any of us accidentally nods off when it's our turn to keep an eye on him. Alas, caffeine only helps so much.
Thanks again! *smoochies*
