At sometime in life, whether it’s your mom, dad, aunt, uncle, family, or a friend…life can become difficult. Mom could fall and not be able to call for help. Aunt Tillie’s arthritis could flare up not allowing her to get out of the tub. Dad could slip in the shower and not have a Button to push for help. Uncle Joe could have a heart attack and not have a medical alarm button to push to get help.
Most of our family members, or us, wait until an emergency occurs before getting a medical alert device. Some refuse to use a medical alarm system even after their first incident and therefore have the same fall, heart attack, stroke, breathing difficulty…or whatever kind of threat…yet again…with no personal alarm to summon help…because they can’t reach the phone to call 911.
Here’s the problem. Once a senior has fallen and waited hours for help to find them…they lose a portion of their self-confidence. By the time someone has fallen multiple times without immediate help…they start to become a different person…they become frail and sometimes afraid.
The best time to protect a loved one with a medical alert device is prior to any problem. I have become a young senior myself and I now stay safe with my own Button. It’s the smart thing to do.
A loved one can remain living independently in their own home far longer by having a Button to push that will get them help when they need it most...when they can't reach the phone to dial 911 for help
