Product Review: Secure SWCB-1 Wireless Remote Nurse Alert System

 

This is a good idea that is poorly executed. I am a caregiver to a disabled parent and used this so that my mom could get my attention if I could not otherwise hear her (such as if I was sleeping and could not hear her yelling for me, or if she was outside and needed my help). It did work initially and would work well even if she went outside to take the dog out (as long as she did not stray too far away from my townhouse). However, after a short amount of time, it just stopped working, even replacing the supposedly new battery with a brand new battery. So, if you get one that does not fritz out within a few months, it is a five-star item, but it seems that it is made very cheaply and if you get one that does not last long, it will basically be a waste of money.
