“We'd like to thank BellMe for giving us this bell. It's going to help our residents prevent those incidents that happen while nurses can't see — the resident will press the bell then we'll see what's happening.”

“When it rings you can see the letters very well, they are big and clear, and the sound is very clear. Even if you are far, you can hear it and it rings until you come and stop it and then you can go to the resident and help them.”

How has the system helped you guys here at Serene Park?

The system is very very very helpful because when it rings you can see the letters very well, they are big and clear and the sound is very very clear. Even if you are far, you can hear it and it rings until you come and stop it and then you can go to the resident and help them.

Have you had any problems with the system?

There are no problems at all because there is no way that you can miss it. There is no way you can miss it and we advised the resident to check the batteries now and then so that they must not sit with a panic button with a battery that is not working.

So BellMe really helped you guys here at Serene park?

It helps us a lot, it helps us a lot. We advise them to wear it around their neck so that anywhere they fall, in the bathroom or anywhere, if they got that accident they can just press the button and there is no way that we can miss it.

“It has saved a lot of lives. For every nursing home they should have this. It's definitely a life saver. They rely on this bell so much that they don't want to part with it.”

Constance S. Cele, Nursing Service Manager

What would happen if you didn’t have BellMe?

They would’ve died definitely because when they fall sometimes, for instance, we have some blind people around here whom they are far away from the nurse’s station so if we didn’t have a bell we wouldn’t get to them in time. So obviously we would find there is a major problem there.

How many lives has it saved?

It has saved a lot of lives. For every nursing home they should have this. It’s definitely a life saver. They rely on this bell so much that they don’t want to part with it. If they don’t have the bell: “I’m going to die”. Honestly that’s how they feel. If they don’t have this bell on their neck to them they are dead. If anything happens to them they won’t be able to ring the bell and they can’t scream nobody is going to hear them so obviously they are going to die.

“Our primary reason for buying this system was for use by frail-care residents to alert nursing staff. We are very happy with the reliability, range of signal and ease of use. It’s definitely a good product and an excellent way to alert staff to any arising situation. We were very happy with BellMe’s excellent sales and after sales service received.”

“The Nurse Call System assisted us in speeding up the processes in our Clinic setting. If people have buzzed for assistance it displays in the common room. It is good value for money especially if you want to streamline processes and procedures in the clinic. We were very happy with the excellent service and patience of the staff.”

“Ushir was great assisting us with all the programming of the buttons. All my residents are now wearing their buttons around their necks… (like a medallion… lol)! Some even thought it is a good idea to do a few “test runs”, before handing the buttons out we had a few tested from different rooms and they all came through without any problems. We are very happy with the system so far and would like to thank all involved for the speedy and efficient way things were dealt with.”

“It has proven to be very useful and as it is extremely simple to use our residents do not have to learn complicated systems which they might struggle to remember in an emergency. It has been put to very effective use on a great number of occasions providing quick responses to calls for help.”

“Our main reason for buying this product is because it was advertised as something that is far-reaching. We really like that the range of the product reaches far with the Signal Booster. If anyone is thinking of buying this product I suggest you buy it from Jolandie Wessels, she is very helpful and pleasant. We are very happy that the product works as advertised.”

“The BellMe system is being used for my elderly father. The system is extremely user-friendly, that is what I liked the most about the product. I recommend this product for the range it covers and the ease of use. It eliminates calling and shouting for assistance. I think the product features are perfect.”

“My son-in-law ordered your watch/alarm for me when my wife became bedridden and I have found it to be most useful for keeping in touch with her when I am away from her in the house or out in the garden. It is used every day and has attracted a lot of attention from friends and potential users.”

“We are very happy with Bellme. We got it for our boss who has a carer looking after him. He has just come home from having aggressive radium and chemo. It is working well. Thank you for your excellence service and delivery.”

“BellMe is a wonderful product. Having parents in their late 80s or 90s is scary for any child. My father recently broke his shoulder and without the use of his right arm he found himself stuck in a couple of situations and was calling for help for over 30 minutes. Thank goodness I came across the BellMe website. I was quickly able to purchase a device for my 89 year old mother and 92 year old father. I can rest easy knowing that all they need to do is press the button on their device and their care giver is instantly notified that they need help. The good news is that BellMe is very reasonably priced though I would gladly have paid more for the peace of mind that having my parents equipped with a BellMe device has brought me.”

“Really awesome, BellMe is a really cool product, I’m actually a C6 quadriplegic and I use it to communicate with my helper, I actually have a 24-hour helper here. Initially I use to just rely on my cell phone to contact her but you know cellphone is not a 100% solution where sometimes we have issues with the network or the phone is off and I can’t always get her on time so I started using the BellMe system and I’m very very impressed with it. Firstly it’s very easy to use because I have limited finger mobility so it is easy to press the button, button is quite big.Secondly it’s quite convenient, I can always have it around my neck. It is very light weighed, I don’t even feel it there. I just have it around my neck the whole day and whenever I need my helper I can just call her. The other thing is that I was concerned about was the distance because she is based quite a far distance away and it is on a level below us so I was concerned about the frequency, whether it will reach but it seems to be transmitting very well and it works 100% even though it’s quite far away. Lastly the price, I was quite impressed with the price as well, I always thought that these wireless systems were quite expensive and I found it to be quite affordable. I got 4 buttons, a calling light and a UPS. Definitely well worth it, you know it’s something essential that I need in my home now especially being a quadriplegic, so it’s something I can’t live without.”
