MURS Radio: An Elderly or Disabled Person’s Communication Device

Having MURS Radio installed in the bathroom is very beneficial particularly for an elderly or a disabled person in which bathing can be a dangerous activity although for a healthy and fit person, bathing is not a problem and many don’t even think twice doing it. According to National Safety Council, one person dies everyday from a shower or bathtub use in United States and in three-year period, deaths related to bathing were greater compared to handgun accidents. These bathing mishaps even bring more psychological trauma to the remaining families for they occurred in supposedly secure surroundings. With MURS Radio, getting assistance can be easily communicated.
Many of these elderly and disabled persons want to be independent when taking a bath especially those who are still capable of doing it without assistance. Privacy is a great deal that many considers it and want to take a bath by themselves if they can. One of the inconveniences with unassisted bathing of an elderly or disabled person is that they would have a difficulty when getting out of the tub. This is because hot water causes muscles to relax resulting to some muscle weakness and fatigue, at the same time symptoms that are similar to heat exhaustion when the water is just too hot.
An elderly woman with hip problems and also with arthritic knees got into the tub all by her own but was having trouble getting out that thirty minutes after she rolled herself to the edge and grab the sink then drag her person out. Because of this situation, disabled and elderly people should have an alert device for emergencies at hand and within reach. Then they can simply summon for assistance from those they can trust when they have to get out from the tub.
In the event that the caregiver is out of the room, summoning help is possible with a cordless phone or an emergency alert device. However there are no waterproof cordless phones available and emergency alert devices are too much with the monthly fee subscription and the caregiver lives in the same house. But with MURS Radio, it can be waterproofed and calling for help is easy by just pressing a button to communicate.
In addition, MURS Radio can be installed at the bathtub wall so it is within reach. It can also be battery operated so electrocution risk can be avoided. With MURS Radio installed, everyone will feel more secure with the knowledge that summoning for assistance is readily available. Either just asking for help to get out of the tub or any other situation MURS Radio will surely meet the needs.

MURS Radios: MURS Callbox

MURS Radios, which sounds like ‘furs’, is a set of frequencies for communication use in personal or business reasons that is newly added by the FCC. MURS is not that popular and many have not heard about it so there won’t be a heavy traffic in most areas on it. The MURS have only five available channels together with 38 quiet codes that enable users to hear only the conversations that are set on the same channel and code as them to ensure privacy. Every intercoms and radios available with MURS Radios have no compatibility problems with each other and you can even combine them or mix and match them to your preference.

Most intercoms need to be set up with wires that may run through a concrete or asphalt areas or over some extended distances that will cost you thousands of dollars, and the added nuisance of acquiring permits before the digging starts.
