I've looked a little bit online and found a monitoring system where you basically hook your whole house into this receiver (phone, doorbell, alarm clock, baby monitor etc) that comes with light functions and a vibrating disk to put under the mattress. The baby monitor is sold separately and can be hooked up either way also. Together, all of this costs about $225-250. Do they have cheaper systems? In the 2 years that my husband and I have been together, we've never really seen the need to get anything like this for the phone and such...and since we have an apartment, we don't have a doorbell anyway.
Reason being - my husband is hearing impaired and we're thinking of having a baby in the next year and a half or so...I just want to be prepared. :) I don't think the little Fisher Price monitors that vibrate would be strong enough to wake him if I was at work...

Hearing impaired and creative people please help!?
Q. My grandparents live in an assisted living facility, (not a nursing home, they just make them dinner, clean their "apartment" and have 'help' pullies in every room. My grandma just got diagnosed with cancer again, and were worried about her new treatment disorienting her and making her fall at night. Her and my grandpa have seperate rooms, b/c of sleep equipment noise.
Anyway, my grandpa is VERY hard of hearing, and we can't figure out how to make sure he wakes up if she needs help. She can't yell loud, she has advanced lung cancer. She fell out of bed not to long ago and had to wait until he woke up in the morning and got his attention by shining a flashlight at a mirror!!! We're so worried she'll have to lay there again if she gets up again at night and falls. (She couldn't reach the help pull and she takes her Lifeline necklace thingy off when she sleeps)
We are thinking about getting a baby monitor, but my grandpa is so hard of hearing, it probably won't wake him up
She went into a nursing home the first time she had cancer. It was it was the best one we could find in the area, on several occasions we would go in and multiple lights would be blinking for assistance, and all the nurses just stayed at the nurses station and ignored them. She stayed stuck in the bathroom for 3 hours once. My grandpa can take care of her during the day at this facility, he just can't hear at night if she falls. And it's 2 two buildings down from the hospital. She's fine during the day, but her medicine disorients her at night (and it would be permanent, grade 4 lung cancer has a 3 to 5 month life expectancy, so we would rather she was comfortable living with my grandpa) Thanks for trying, we're thinking about maybe getting a blow horn :) She won't sleep with her life alert on her neck or wrist :(
oh, and no animals allowed :(

Answer
Extend what you are calling the "Help Pull" so that it can be reached from the floor. Find a device that makes a lot of noise (a radio or some kind of bell or buzzer might work) that she could use as an alarm and set it under the edge of the bed.
