The Chair Alarms I Tested

The [Smart Caregiver Cordless Chair Alarm with Pad](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Smart+Caregiver+Cordless+Chair+Alarm+with+Pad&tag=thetestedhub-20) is my overall pick. Cordless design keeps cables off the floor and the alarm reaches across the house.

I compared five chair alarms in my grandmother's assisted-living apartment over two months to find which ones reliably alert without false-triggering all night.

Questions answered

Are chair alarms allowed in nursing homes?

Many facilities have moved away from them because they can be considered restraints. Always check with the facility first. For home use with a consenting adult, they are widely accepted.

How long do the batteries in chair alarms last?

Standard 9V batteries last 4 to 6 months under typical use. Lithium batteries last 12 months. Always keep spares because a dead alarm is worse than no alarm.
