There are so many good reasons that the Elderly should own a Medical Alert Device that a Senior Citizen should instead ask themselves, "Why don't I own a Medical Alert Device?" If all that a device did was offer peace of mind, it would be worth it; however, the device offers so much more.
Many of the Elderly live alone, far from caring family and old friends. Even if they do live with a spouse, that spouse is oftentimes too debilitated to help with a fall or medical emergency. Some of our Elderly who suffer with Alzheimer's could not even make a telephone call in an emergency situation.
Some elderly people live with their children, but most younger adults work during the day. If the elderly person has a medical emergency or a fall, how many crucial hours must they wait until their children call or come home? The situation becomes more complicated the farther away the children live from the parent. There must be a better way.
Other elderly people want to live alone. They love their home and their life, and don't wish to live with children or enter an independent living center. A Medical Alert Device is the perfect compromise; they can live alone, yet get needed help at the push of a button. Parent and children each can have peace of mind.
A Medical Alert Device is the perfect solution for elderly parent and child alike. Wearing the device at all times insures a "watchful presence" in the home. If there should be a fall, the button is pushed, and immediately a concerned yet friendly voice asks how they can help. Even if the elderly person is unable to speak, the device operator immediately notifies an ambulance and children. Everyone knows that, when it comes to a medical emergency, the faster help arrives, the better the chance of recovery.
These days, the Medical Alert Device does more than answer an emergency. There are units that can detect carbon monoxide or a fire. Help is dispatched immediately, and an operator to alert the elderly person who could be sound asleep, unaware of deadly danger.
Senior Citizens owe it to themselves, and the people that love them, to have the security and peace of mind a Medical Alert Device can give to everyone. Why not talk it over with a Medical Alert Device representative, and always have help at hand?
