Plug-in doorbell helps elderly loved one

Dear Heloise: Recently, my aged father was very ill. While my brother and his wife live the house, their sleeping quarters and workspace are downstairs from where my parents were.
We worried that my mother might need them quickly and couldn’t get to the door to call them very easily.

I thought of our inexpensive plug-in doorbell. We attached the button to something that Mom could take with her into several rooms. It works like a charm, even from the floor above.
Even though my dad passed away, they bought one so that Mom can summon them if she needs to. – Dawn O., via email
Dear Dawn: My heart sends you and your family a hug on losing your dad. I know how tough it can be. Thank you for sharing this hint, which I know will help thousands of my readers who are taking care of family. – Heloise
Dear Heloise: Is there any way to keep microfiber sheets from pilling? No matter what brand I buy, those annoying little pill bumps start forming after a few months. – Karen, via email
Dear Karen: It’s probably not the brand, as you have found out; it’s the way they are manufactured or how you are washing them.
First, wash using the delicate cycle so there is a minimum amount of agitation.
It’s really the rubbing against other materials that causes the little fibers to “pill,” or cause bumps.
The same for putting them in the dryer. So do try to wash and dry them alone, with nothing else that may have an abrasive action. And hang them to dry, if you can. – Heloise
Dear Readers: Bob Biron of Manchester, N.H., sent in a photo of his adopted dog, Buddy, sitting next to the fireplace. Bob says that Buddy isn’t concerned about a long, cold winter: “I’ll just hang out by the pellet stove like last winter.” To see Buddy’s photo, go to my website, www.Heloise.com, and click on “Pets.” – Heloise
Dear Heloise: I read the letter from someone who had photos that smelled like smoke and wanted to know how to get rid of the smell.
How about scanning them on a color scanner and reprinting them?
They can be reprinted on photo paper, which can be bought at any office-supply store.
Or take them to any place that prints photos to have them reprinted. – Shelley, via email
Dear Heloise: My husband and I inherited a beautiful dining-room table. I want to take care of it. When we have gatherings, I am a little worried that someone will let a drink sit on the table and leave a water ring.
To help relieve my anxiety, I put two tablecloths on. The bottom one is smaller and can’t be seen, but provides extra protection. I also put out coasters. – Rosanne B., Salt Lake City

• Volunteer firefighters work to help Western NY residents

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. - Officials estimate that 75 inches of snow fell in Cheektowaga, and it's done a lot of damage.
The damage is clear as one awning in front of a home has come down.
The roads also remain impassable.
Thankfully, there are volunteer firefighters who have responded to help those in need. One 86 year old was in her home when her furnace stopped working. Volunteer firefighters came to the rescue as quickly as possible. In fact, there were about half a dozen of them helping get the elderly woman out, which seems to be all in a day's work.
"We've been walking them out, carrying them out in stokes baskets. Doing what we can to get them to safety," said Jeanette Metros with the Cheektowaga Volunteer Fire Department.
One repair man says that his car couldn't handle all of the snow after he tried to help people himself.
"I had four people trying to push me out and then the belt broke on the car, so I wasn't able to go anywhere," says Nicholas Tabbi with Capital Heat.
Another man, whose name just so happens to be "snowman" in German, was in the area to hunt deer, but with all the snow, he decided to help others.
"My last name is Schliemann and if you would translate it into English language the real translation is snowman," he said.
Schliemann started clearing off people's roofs, and he's done at least five so far and he won't accept any money for his work.
"Here live elder people, mostly elder people and I'm, I have the skills to do it. That's all," he said.
While storm clouds are on the horizon, they are headed further south. A lot of the seniors that live in a mobile home complex are staying at a local senior center.
Many are in need of regular medical attention. Some are on dialysis or chemotherapy.
Officials at the center said they had 25 people stay the first night and double that number Wednesday night.
With more snow on the way, they expect the numbers to increase even more Thursday night.

SmartCare sees big future for sensors in elderly care facilities

St. Charles-based SmartCare Consultants seeks to improve the way we care for the elderly, by offering new sensor technology that provides round-the-clock monitoring.
The company expects to bring in $30 million in revenue over the next five years after securing its sensor technology in various senior care facilities across the country.
Scott Mosher, vice president of business development, recently discussed the company’s launch, technology and plan for growth. Here’s an edited portion of the interview.

What service does SmartCare Consultants provide?

I’m sure people have heard of a smart home. Imagine a long-term setting that saves seniors’ lives — that’s what we do. We help senior caregivers provide a safe environment where their loved ones can stay in place with dignity and independence.
The technical answer is: We provide true 24-hour transparent care through a comprehensive cloud-based solution that monitors seniors’ daily activity and reports anomalies. We help caregivers proactively respond to problems, making sure seniors haven’t fallen and that they are drinking, eating, bathing and remaining active — the typical activities of daily living.

How did you come up with the technology?

About eight years ago, (company founder Bryan Jefferson) started a home automation business out of his garage. (Later,) his father was in a car wreck and put in a wheelchair. His dad lives in California and (Bryan) lives here.
Bryan put some basic sensors throughout his dad’s house so he could tell when he got out of bed and was eating and showering, and Bryan got alerts when his dad wasn’t getting out of bed or didn’t eat or didn’t shower.

Can you describe how the technology works?

There are pressure sensors in the couch, and pressure sensors in the bed, pressure sensors in the bathroom so you know if they’re stuck on the toilet, and sensors on the bathmat. There are motion sensors throughout the house so you know when they’ve left; sensors in the fridge and on the stove. All those sensors are all talking to each other and all of that info is being fed to our software, and it’s learning the person’s behavior and when something happens that is different, or out of the ordinary, that’s when someone gets a notice immediately.

When did SmartCare Consultants launch?

We officially set up the company in October 2012. We started working on it full time in January of this year. Today, our first communities that are adopting this technology are now under construction. We have 142 rooms sold today and they are being built right now near Kansas City. There are 1,700 rooms across the country in our pipeline. So that equates to about $30 million in revenue over five years.

How does the payment model work?

It’s a managed service so we are working with the community to raise their prices by about 5 percent on average. We’re adding about $7 to $10 a day, per person, per room.
We’re also being pushed into the home space, your hospice agencies and caregivers, for under $10 per day, so about $275 per month, but it saves you on average $4,000 from going into a retirement community.
