Post No54...VIDEO How does 'challenging behaviour' affect a care placement?

Posted on 24th June 2024 at 07:00

Often, if a care home serves notice to a resident due to behavioural concerns, it proves very difficult for the same person to be placed in another care home. Many care homes provide dementia care, usually residential based or nursing based, but not complex based.

This can lead to families calling multiple care homes and being told the same thing over and over, which is essentially a decline to admit the resident. Understandably, this can cause distress on top of an already difficult situation.

The video in this post discusses this in more detail, and offers some guidance on possible solutions to the issue.

Trihear Convo

£265.00

With a remote microphone & ultra-low latency, this assisted hearing device is great for seniors who have mild to severe hearing loss. The Trihear Convo can support switching between local and remote microphone modes, making it easy to pick up sound from up to 30 m (98 ft) away, as well as switching between TV sound and talking freely with friends and family.

With ultra-low latency the Trihear Convo ensures real-time synchronisation of audio and video, making it a useful addition to any household where the TV is on too loudly for others in the house, or other care home residents.

New Noise Reduction Technology - Trihear Convo features digital noise reduction technology up to 16 dB. Whether you're in a busy café or at a lively family gathering, the technology intelligently identifies and minimises ambient noise, ensuring your hearing is not disturbed and you can focus on the sounds that matter most to you.

Exclusive individual left/right volume control and 5-step tone control

Trihear Convo supports 9 different levels of independent volume control for the left and right ear, with the volume control located on the outside of the housing and can be individually adjusted to meet the unique hearing needs of each ear. There is also a 5-step tone control that allows you to quickly adapt to your listening environment, whether your hearing loss is low-frequency or high-frequency.

Rechargeable Battery

Quick charge technology provides 6 h of emergency battery life in just 10 min, or up to 24 h of use with a full charge in just 50 min.

The hearing amplifier has a lightweight, ergonomic design that makes it easy to carry and use.

The Trihear Convo can enable older people to communicate better with family members or staff in a care home, making it easier for them to express their needs and wishes.

When older people have hearing loss they may become isolated, by using Trehear Convo seniors can remain independent and socially active.

Many seniors enjoy watching TV but maybe conscious of other care home residents or family members if the TV is up too loudly. With seamless integration, the Trihear Convo can be connected to the TV, or the microphone placed near the TV, sending sound directly to the headphones.

Unlike traditional hearing aids, the Trihear Convo is more difficult to lose, break, and is less fiddly for less dexterous hands.

For seniors, hearing loss can highly increase the risk of falls, the Trihear Convo can therefore help reduce the risk of an older person falling.

Hearing loss is also attributed to a faster decline in dementia, being able to hear properly is therefore vital to the ongoing wellbeing of those living with dementia.

Trihear Convo can be used for people with mild to severe hearing loss, however if a persons hearing loss is very severe then the Trihear Convo may not be as affective as more traditional hearing aids.

Estimated delivery time for the Trihear Convo is 3 business days
