“Joy for All”: Elevating Senior Care with Safety and Companionship

At Alert Medical Alarms, we’re dedicated to empowering seniors to live with independence, dignity, and security—whether at home or in their communities. Our Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) have been a lifeline for countless individuals, providing instant access to help when it matters most. Today, we’re thrilled to announce an exciting new offering that enhances our commitment to holistic senior care: Joy for All Companion Pets. By pairing our industry-leading PERS with these lifelike robotic companions, we’re addressing both physical safety and emotional well-being like never before.

A Powerful Combination: Safety Meets Emotional Support

Our PERS devices are designed to support seniors facing unique challenges, including dementia & wandering, social isolation, elder maltreatment, and reducing fall impacts. Our packages are fully covered by Medicaid Waivers or grant funding. These devices offer powerful interventions that keep clients safe and connected. Now, with the addition of Joy for All Companion Pets, we’re taking senior care to the next level by fostering joy, reducing loneliness, and enhancing quality of life.

Joy for All robotic cats and pups are more than adorable companions; they’re research-backed tools that provide emotional comfort, particularly for seniors with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or those living alone. With lifelike fur, soothing sounds like purring or barking, and touch-responsive behaviors, these pets offer the warmth of companionship without the responsibilities of caring for a real animal. Together, our PERS ensures safety, while Joy for All brings daily moments of connection and happiness.

How AMA PERS and Joy for All Work Together

Our PERS systems are tailored to address critical needs:

  • Dementia & Wandering: GPS-enabled PERS devices help locate clients who may wander, ensuring their safety and granting loved ones peace of mind 
  • Social Isolation: By connecting clients to caregivers or emergency services, our systems foster connection and engagement with a special touch of kindness
  • Elder Maltreatment: Instant access to help empowers clients to report concerns and stay protected, while enhanced monitoring to protect and empower those at risk and more.
  • Reducing Fall Impacts: Fall detection technology alerts responders immediately, minimizing injury risks.

Complementing these features, Joy for All Companion Pets add emotional and cognitive support:

  • Lifelike and Low-Maintenance: Featuring VibraPurr (cats) and BarkBack (pups), these pets respond to touch and voice, powered by batteries with no need for feeding or vet care.
  • Emotional Benefits: Studies show these pets reduce anxiety, improve mood, and encourage social engagement, especially for those with dementia or isolation.
  • Personalized Companionship: Clients can choose from models like Golden Pups or Orange Tabby Cats, creating a personal bond.
  • Trusted by Professionals: Used in over 1,000 senior living communities, Joy for All pets are a proven tool for enhancing well-being.

 

Imagine a senior with dementia wearing our PERS pendant to stay safe from wandering, while their Joy for All robotic pup responds to their touch with a gentle wag, easing agitation and sparking joy. This powerful duo addresses both safety and emotional health, creating a more fulfilling life.
