Life line

If your not sure which one is a good one to use, call the local fire department and ask which one they would recommend. Hope this helps.

I never thought of calling the fire deptartment, that's a great idea!
Larasmom, thank you i would really appreciate that.
My grandma and aunt are not loving the idea, but I told them that honestly anyone who lives alone needs something like that. Especially if you have any kind of health problem or don't talk to someone often. My Mom worked with a man and his brother who was like 40 fell in his house and died, he was dead for like 3 weeks before anyone knew. Of course it's not likely that anyone in my family would go that long, we all talk daily usually hourly, except at night.

What is elder services?

I had Life alert for my father. He lived in the dwelling above me.

One day he gave me the scare of my life. He was 79, health was OK. He was still self sufficient. He had an optometrist appointment that morning, then doing his lenses. Knew he'd be gone for awhile. In the afternoon, I went in the garage to leave to run an errand, and his car was there....it was cold. I told my kids to go inside and remain in their rooms. I braced myself for what I feared, finding him deceased. I went upstairs and he was on the living room floor, trying to get up. Arms and legs full of carpet burns, still in his PJ's, disoriented. Don't know how long he'd been there, he never knew either. The EMT's came, suspected stroke. After days of tests and waiting for results, he was diagnosed with a blood cancer, which took his life 4 years later.

After that day, I called and got him the system. Easy to install and to return when he passed. But he hated it and would never put in on, but had it nearby. I think it can even be in a clip or bracelet form.

It's better to be safe than sorry and I highly recommend it.
