Alarm Management
• Alarm voice diallers to caretakers home
• Text messaging to pager becomes the norm
• No scheduling or escalation procedure
• No confirmation of receipt of alarm
• Reliance on diligence of the caretaker
• SMS messaging becomes widespread
• Prolific installation of stand-alone alarm modules
