We used the Life Alert system for my mother prior to her moving into an Assisted Living Facility. Great company, affordable (it was about $45.00 per month). The equipment is a box with a big red button on it and is tied to the phone line. We kept the box on her bed side table. She also had a pendant/call button which could be worn on a necklace or around the wrist.
This system is truly a life saver. Before she moved in with me, and was still living alone in her own home...she needed to use it. She had fallen down, rather slipped away from her walker and was down on the ground. She wore the pendant around her neck...so pushed the button. Those paramedics were at her house and broke open the door in swift time. It was truly phenominal service.
I would recommend that company, their people and their equipment to anyone!
