I was wondering if anyone knew of some kind of help out there that would purchase or help someone purchase a Life Alert? I have a friend that lives alone after her husband died a few years ago. Her daughters live about 11/2 - 2 hours away. Her church looks after her really good, but living alone, she has fallen quite a few times. She told me the other day that she fell outside and it took quite awhile to get herself up enough to get back in the house. She is considered to be moderate/severe… read more
Yes mam. I have ordered one and I'm enjoying it very much. Gives me peace of mind. I have the medical alert system and I wear a pendant around my neck 24/7. You also get a box to install at the front door with the key in it and the EMSs know where the key is so they can get in if they need to rescue me. My husband works out of town sometimes and I'm here by myself quite often. So I feel it's a good investment. Haven't had an emergency and
I hope I don't but just having it makes me feel better. I would recommend one to anybody. Take care. Sterling
I have a lifeline bracelet. I've used it 11 times. The first few times I had problems finding the necklace thingie, so I got the bracelet. It is easier to find when you fall backwards like I usually do because the necklace sometimes was behind me. I got mine for free through a state wide seniors center called MAC. When I need help is nice to know that button will get help for me and the voice will stay with me until the paramedics arrive, which is calming in a trauma.
I live in New Zealand and have a Medic Alert pendant that connects to St john Ambulance .It gives me piece of mind and my family know I can get help if I fall or take ill when at home alone..
It is funny that this question just came into in to my e-mail. I was talking to the man who was here to check out my security system and we had been discussing getting one that park with my home security I have one now that I got through the Senior Cittizen centre r here. They don't provide it but I got a discount by being a member at the center. Mi just found out from the man that it shoul be less expensive through my security. He is getting all I need to know for me and will bring it to me on Monday ni get calls constantly from people who are trying to. Sell them. I also hear ads on the t v If there is a senior center nearby, she should ask there. If not, the health unit her , gives good information. M you might not even think of this but the local library is an excellent source of information for this and many, many more things we need.
If it is less expensive through my s. System, I'm going to chand. I hope that helps.
Oops, I almost forgot--- a cell phone will work for this if:1. She can get it out of her pocket quickly or will it snag when she attempts to move it. 2. If you fall and land on your side and the phone is in there., it might be nearly I,possible to call for help. Especially if you decide you can make the call on the phone. The life alert button only has to be punched one time. The phone has to go have at least 3 numbers (911) ) pushed.
If I were in a lot of pain, I would choose 1 push. There is another thing to think about. After you push the life alert button, there is no necessity to push again . The p11 people will take oveeed
Call life alert they have very inexpensive rates and they supply the hardware
