who needs it?

 

The simple answer is everyone. We all have people we want to protect, whether they're our children, vulnerable people, elderly or employees in our care. Everyone deserves to feel safe.

Support and care, for those with dementia

When a dementia patient wanders off it's their family who can feel lost

Studies show that around 40% of people with dementia will wander at some point. Wandering is very stressful for both carer and the individual concerned and is the most likely reason that people move into a care home environment. People with Alzheimer's or dementia who wander are 3 times less likely to remain living in their own homes. Not only does this result in a loss of independence and autonomy but carries a financial cost as residential care is roughly double the expense of care in the community.

Dementia wandering is one of the more challenging behaviours associated with dementia and Alzheimer's. People with dementia wander for different reasons. With buddi this behaviour can be managed, giving people with dementia the independence to live at home for longer and giving carers the peace of mind to carry on with their own lives.

Independent living for the elderly

Just because you live alone doesn’t mean you have to feel alone

As we get older the simple things in life become more difficult and stressful. No longer do we take every day events in our stride. buddi provides the reassurance that help is always at hand – with buddi you know that if you fall down, get lost or just need assistance, help will be on its way. Wearing a buddi gives you the freedom and independence to pop to the shops or post office, visit a neighbour or go for a walk in the woods. Thus buddi is not only a vital support and safety device for man down emergencies, but it also helps encourage independent living.

Lone worker protection and safety

If one of your employees is reported missing, it’s you the police could be looking for...

If you or your employees work in remote or potentially volatile situations and a problem arises, you will want help to arrive as quickly as possible.

You are legally responsible for the safety of your staff. In 2008 the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act became law. If senior management within an organisation fail to ensure an adequate level of protection for their workforce they may be prosecuted, fined and required to publicise their conviction in the event of serious injury or a fatality.

buddi allows you to protect your staff, protect yourself, protect your business.

Making the vulnerable less vulnerable

Give your loved ones the freedom and independence. Protect them 24/7

Many of the people we care about are vulnerable – children, teenagers, people with learning difficulties – the fact is we all know someone who needs to be watched over. When someone you care about goes missing, the ability to locate them almost instantly could mean the difference between seeing them safely home or never seeing them again.

Give your loved ones the freedom and joy of independent living. With buddi you are always with them, know where they are and can be alerted if they are somewhere they shouldn't be.
