"HomeFree™ helped us both maintain a quality of life that would not have been possible without it", says an appreciative user:

When Jane Taylor was first offered participation in a HomeFree trial program, She felt: "we really didn't need it because John didn't wander" . All of a sudden his behavior changed quickly. If we had not had the system, I would not have been able to leave. HomeFree gave me peace of mind, that was the bottom line."

Jane is a 47 years old marketing consultant of Atlanta, USA, caring for John, her husband, an Alzheimer's patient.

"We used the system for about six months. The ultimate benefit was knowing that when I had to get out of the house, I would be paged right away. I wouldn't go to the store, but to take the dog and be very close to home, I did. This gave me the sense that I still had control. I had a chance just to get out and think. Just not to have to physically watch him every minute. Before, I locked the doors and would be working in my home office and I would hear him fiddling with the locks. It was distracting.

He loved to go to the backyard, look at the flowers, rake the leaves. Without HomeFree he couldn't do it. By having it, he could do it himself and feel more independent. It gave him the freedom; he needed time alone, too. I didn't have to constantly hover over him.

I was able to keep him at home for three more months than I would have been able to without the system. The system was very straightforward and the messages were clear. It worked really well for both of us.
