Great product, fast delivery.
We bought this for my mother in law. She was/is falling allot due to age and medical issues. In one week she had 8 falls, 3 of which resulting in hospital visits with head injuries. We found the Ribcap products and were intrigued. The look like a hat, not safety gear. We tried to buy one in the US (we are from Canada but it doesn't look like there is a Canadian distributor, sign me up!), but there was no stock in the US in mom's size. We went to the Ribcap site and they had stock. The shipping was only 10 dollars. For that little in shipping from the EU to Canada I was sure it would take weeks. Not the case. I ordered the cap Tuesday afternoon, it was on mom's head that Friday afternoon!!!! Now that's affordable, quality service. Since receiving the hat, Mom has received many compliments on it from people at the retirement home. They are all amazed to find out that it is actually a safety device. They think it's styling and cute. Mom has been asked by many where they can get one. We were asked by the medical staff at the home where to get them as they have been asked and want to be able to suggest them for residents that are prone to falls. Functional, yes! Unfortunately, mom has tested the hat with full backwards falling, resulting in hitting the back of her head off the not so forgiving floor (most everywhere in the home is carpeted concrete). No fall since she has been wearing the hat has required a hospital visit, no damage done. Amazing. The medical staff of the home are impressed with how well the hat performed. When asked about the fall and impact, mom said her head 'bounced' and didn't really hurt.
Love this product, great fast service, can't say how happy we are. Mom is safer, and we aren't spending time at the hospital. (That might sound a bit selfish. We are there for her whatever/whenever is needed. She's mom, that's what she deserves. But 3 ER visits in 4 days is allot.)
Highly recommend.
