Peace of mind for elderly loved ones at home alone

For those of us that have a true concern for our elderly parents or other loved ones who are constantly on our mind as we go about our daily lives. There is a way to acheive peace of mind knowing that if they have a critical situation arise while they are alone they can get immediate help even if they are unable to reach the telephone or unable to speak. It is a proven fact that at least 40% of all elderly people will fall at some point this year and many others will have some other emergency arise whether medical in nature of otherwise. It is inevitable regardless of how healthy and independent they may be. If we could anticipate such terrible things as a fall or stroke or heart attack or other such life threatening occurance then we could plan for it and take measures to prevent and avoid them. The truth is that we can never know in advance when these things may happen and that is exactly why it pays to be prepared in advance rather than wait for it to happen before we take measures to prevent them. For just one dollar per day a person (or 2 people living in the same home) can be protected 24/7 without ever a moment when they are unprotected. (battery back up is included for times of power outages). One of the main objections any elderly person has to using such a service is that deep down inside they feel as if they submit to getting it they are admitting that they are no longer capable of being independent and the next step will be admission to a nursing home or at best be forced to move in with family members and give up the comfort and familiarity of their home. The fact is that having a monitored service such as a medical alarm can have the exact opposite result. By being protected and having a fast and easy link to professional help in an emergency a person can maintain their independence and remain in the comfort of their home with familiar surroundings for many months or years. Many times an elderly person will have an unforeseen accident or other medical emergency (especially diabetics etc) and find themselves on the floor or outside the home on the ground with no way of being able to call for help. There are countless of instances reported each and every day where a similar situation occurs and the individual is forced to lie there for hours (and sometimes days) until someone decides to check on them and many times it is too late by that time. Even for those who have friends or family check on them on a daily basis it is still likely that if a critical situation arises soon after that person makes contact they will be without help for up to 24 hours which can be the difference between life and death especially for any elderly person.

The transmitter button may be worn as a necklace or on a wristband like a watch and it is totally waterproof so it can be (and MUST be) worn in the shower, bathtub or when swimming.
