Motion Sensors

Falls and unsupervised movement are among the biggest safety concerns in elderly care at home and in care facilities alike. A motion sensor alarm gives caregivers a reliable heads-up the moment someone moves into a monitored area, so you can act before a situation becomes an emergency.

We carry Smart Caregiver motion sensor systems that are straightforward to set up, easy to use, and built for real caregiving environments.

How a Motion Sensor Alarm Actually Works

The concept is simple. The sensor is placed near a bed, doorway, or any area you want to monitor. When movement is detected, an immediate audible alert goes off either from the sensor itself or through a pager carried by the caregiver.

No complicated setup. No wires running across the room. Just reliable alerts when they matter.

What’s Available in This Category

We carry four motion sensor options, each suited to a slightly different caregiving setup:

• Motion Sensor Alarm – A compact wireless unit with a 30-foot range. When triggered, it sounds an audible alert immediately. Features adjustable tones and an off mode when not needed. A practical, no-frills starting point for basic monitoring.
• Motion Detector with Standalone Pager -A sensor and pager combo at an accessible price point. A good entry-level option when a basic alert system is all that’s needed. 
• Motion Sensor with Caregiver Pager – A wireless motion sensor alarm paired with a pager that can be carried in a pocket, set on a surface, or clipped to a belt. The pager has both chime and vibrate settings. The system is expandable, it can connect with up to six wireless devices, so you can build on it as needs change.
• Motion Sensor with Wireless Monitor – Pairs the motion sensor with a wireless monitor for broader coverage, useful in larger spaces or multi-room setups.

Where These Are Most Useful

Motion sensors work well in situations where you can’t be in the same room at all times:

• Monitoring a bedroom doorway overnight
• Detecting when someone gets up from bed unassisted
• Watching an entry point or hallway for wandering
• Adding a layer of coverage alongside other fall prevention products like floor mat alarms or bed exit monitors

They’re not a replacement for supervision, but they extend your awareness in a practical way.

Cordless, Flexible, and Easy to Reposition

One thing worth noting all of these are wireless systems. There’s no need to run cords through a room or mount anything permanently. The sensors can be placed on a flat surface, adjusted with a swivel bracket, or repositioned entirely if the layout of a room changes.

For caregivers managing multiple patients or rooms, the expandable pager system in particular gives you the flexibility to add more devices over time without replacing what you already have.

Part of the Smart Caregiver Range

These motion sensors are part of the broader Smart Caregiver lineup available at Signature LTC Supplies, which also includes bed exit alarms, chair exit alarms, floor mat alarms, pull string alarms, door and window alarms, and call buttons.

If you’re also looking for a cordless floor mat alarm to place beside the bed, we carry those too under our Floor Mat Alarms range.

If you’re building out a more complete safety setup, these products work well alongside each other.

Why Choose Signature LTC Supplies?

Ordering from a general retailer is easy, but it’s not always the right fit for caregiving environments. Here’s what makes Signature LTC Supplies different:

• Built for long-term care – Every product we carry is selected with caregivers, families, and care facilities in mind, not the general consumer market.
• No irrelevant clutter – You won’t spend time sifting through hundreds of unrelated products. What’s here is here for a reason.
• Trusted brands only – Every product we carry comes from a reputable manufacturer. You’re not guessing on quality. 
• Real people, real support – Have a question before ordering? Call, text, or email someone will actually get back to you.
• Ships across the United States – Whether you’re managing home care or supplying a facility, we deliver reliably to your door.

Not Sure Which One Fits Your Situation?

The right choice usually comes down to two things: how far the caregiver will be from the sensor, and whether you need the alert to travel with you.

• Staying close by? The standalone Motion Sensor Alarm at $29.95 covers most basic needs.
• Moving around the home? The Motion Sensor with Caregiver Pager at $59.95 gives you mobile alerts and room to expand.
• Need wider coverage? The Motion Sensor with Wireless Monitor at $69.95 handles larger or multi-room environments.
