What is Bay Alarm Medical’s Caregiver Tracking Service?
Bay Alarm Medical’s Caregiver Tracking Portal is an add-on service available to subscribers of their Mobile Medical Alert with GPS device.
With Bay Alarm Medical’s Caregiver Tracking app, family members and caregivers will be able to retrieve the senior user’s current location. They will also be able to see the user’s location history. This is based on the GPS information transmitted from the mobile medical alert button unit.
In addition, through the app, family members and caregivers will be able to receive alerts if the battery on the mobile medical alert is low. This is helpful as the mobile medical alert requires frequent recharging. If the device runs out of battery power, it will not operate. Customers should keep in mind that the service will work only if the mobile medical alert device is charged up and with the senior user.
The previous version of Bay Alarm Medical’s mobile medical alert came with a different companion app with a geo-fencing feature. This allowed caregivers to set-up email or text alerts letting them know if their loved one has left a certain area. This feature, known as geofencing, is not available with the current version of their product.
Caregiver Tracking is currently included with every Bay Alarm Medical mobile on-the-go device subscription. More information is available when you call them at 1-855-397-9964.

Caregiver Tracking Benefits
This Bay Alarm Medical Caregiver Tracking portal service offers the senior’s children and caregivers additional peace of mind. Many times, we worry about how our parents are doing when they are not in their own home. This service will allow us to figure out early on if something out of the ordinary has happened and pro-actively check on our loved ones.
For family members and caregivers of seniors with Alzheimer’s Disease, dementia and mild cognitive disorders, this feature is especially helpful. The incidence of elderly patients of these diseases who have wandered away and cannot find their way back is not insignificant. There have even been cases where seniors have gotten lost in deserted areas and suffered dire consequences as a result. If the senior has injured himself or herself, the earlier that we are able to locate and find them, the better their chances of full recovery.
Overall, this is an innovative and useful service by Bay Alarm Medical. We definitely applaud the use of technology to enable seniors to live independently while helping them keep safe.
