Abstract: One variation of a method for detecting and responding to falls by residents within a facility includes: at a wearable device worn by a resident, writing sensor data from a sensor integrated into the wearable device to a buffer, inputting sensor data into a compressed fall detection model—defining a compressed form of a complete fall detection model and stored locally on the wearable device—to detect a fall event at a first time, and transmitting a corpus of sensor data from the buffer and a cue for confirmation of the fall event to a local wireless hub in response to detecting the fall event; and, remotely from the wearable device, inputting the corpus of sensor data into the complete fall detection model—stored remotely from the wearable device—to confirm the fall event and dispatching a care provider to assist the resident in response to confirming the fall event.

Abstract: A feed enclosure for birds and small creatures such as squirrels, raccoons or the like. A internal floor to ceiling enclosure partition prevents feeders from one side of the enclosure from entering into the feeding area entered from the other side. Small birds may enter from one side of the enclosure while larger birds and small creatures can feed from the other side. The larger birds may feed through an elevated opening by stretching their necks over a lower apron while the small creatures can enter into one of the two enclosed areas by one or more lower openings. Smaller birds enter the enclosure's other side through smaller spaced vertical partitions located over a lower wire mesh fence through which the small creatures are prevented from entering.
