Anyone have experience with these? Concerned about my mom and aunt falling, getting injured or not being able to get to a phone. Thanks.

They work great the problem is making sure that they wear them all the time.

Life alert or the one Walmart sells. Also, check out the Apple watches as they have a neat feature that will auto dial if patient not moving/unconscious. I’m prolly going with apple for my dad.

Both grandparents had the Life Alert system and it worked well.

Good your thinking about them.

My Medicare provider sent one to me, we hooked it up, NO SUCCESS!!!!!, wont work in rural areas.

They seem to work great. We run on several per week. Just guessing but probably 30% or so are accidentally triggered. One thing to consider is to leave a key or door code somewhere outside residence and have location given to alarm company. It might save you from having to replace a door or window.

how do you sleep with one on

Now there's an interesting consideration. Never thought about it from that angle.

Mom had an ADT home security system. They have the same thing as life alert. It was very reliable. Mom used it often.

Good idea. Thanks MArk.

This and keeping them charged up. Our next door neighbor has one and I am the first person on the call list. I get a call from the service every other month or so and have to go next door and tell her to charge it.

The key thing is also a good idea.

Nice question. Thanks for asking. I've been thinking about this with my mom and dad since they live pretty far out in the country and both are in bad health. I know my dad would 100% say "What? Get the f--- out of here!" and dismiss it, but my mom would probably go for it.

Make absolutely sure they will work at your parents home location prior to buying, just saying
