Abstract
Various methods and systems related to monitoring the activity of a person receiving assistance from a caregiver are described. In one embodiment, a method for monitoring care receiver (CR) activity includes obtaining an indication that a CR has left a rest location. In response, a sensor of a predefined zone of activity is enabled. A notification is provided in response to activation of the sensor by activity of the CR. In another embodiment, a CR monitoring system includes an occupancy sensor configured to provide an indication that a CR has left a rest location, another sensor configured to monitor CR activity with respect to a zone of activity, and a monitoring device in communication with both sensors. The monitoring device is configured to enable the other sensor in response to an occupancy sensor indication and provide a notification in response to activation of the other sensor by CR activity.
