Help For Seniors
What a great idea!!!! I just heard about this life alert system that has a fall detection system, among other systems, for seniors who live alone. I have heard so many stories about how some minor mishaps have turned into major life threatening accidents simply because no one was around to notice an elderly person had fallen.
In addition to the fall detection, this life alert system has a panic button system that can be used in any situation. When it comes to medical attention, time is of the utmost importance. The sooner help arrives, the lighter the consequences. How many times have you heard the horror stories about situations that could have been prevented only if someone was around to simply pick up a person. I remember when I was a teenager, we had two elderly neighbors living accross the street. One day, one of the women cam knocking at our door and asked for my help. Her older sister (must have been over 90 years old) had fallen out of her bed and was unable to get back up, and her sister was too frail to pick her up….so she came asking for our help. My brother and I ran accross the street and picked her up and put her back in bed and she was fine. Now just imagine if this lady’s sister was not there. This old woman was on the floor and couldnt even move, so she couldnt have called for help. Had a life alert system with fall detection been available, help would have arrived without her having to do anything. Its weird, the things you think of as you get older, or have loved ones around you get older……
