It's that season again :) … Just about everyone is scrambling to find the perfect gifts for their family. But before you buy a medical alert for your mom, talk to her about the idea. I know it may give away some surprise, but it is an important step towards making sure that she will use it properly. When someone is left out of a decision that effects them directly, they can often feel disconnected from the idea. The proper use of a medical alert involves your mom wearing the help button daily. If she feels like the medical alert was forced on her it will be incredibly easy for her to simply not wear her help button, or not wear it all the time. So talk to your mom. Have an honest discussion about your concerns and her hesitation (if she has any). I hope your mom grows to wear her help button with a lot of pride!

Florida has such a strong senior culture - with all of the wonderful people there just enjoying life and retirement. In my experience, Florida seniors tend to know more about how a medical alert necklace works. Maybe they have a number of friends who already use a medical alert, or maybe people in Florida just get to see a lot more advertisements for these devices. Being so exposed to medical alert systems is a very good thing. Seniors there wear their medical alert necklace with a lot of pride. They know that it means that they are taking care of themselves - whether their doctor recommended it or they thought it'd be a smart idea on their own. Seniors throughout the rest of the country could learn a thing or two from Florida. I'm always surprised when someone doesn't want to wear their medical alert necklace in front of friends. Being protected and taking care of yourself is a big thing to be proud of!

Medical alert systems seem to be a popular topic of conversation during the holidays. Mom and dad may have started to loose their balance or feel less confident. Often we don't notice these subtle changes until we visit our parents during the holidays. Take this time together to evaluate your parents needs and talk to them about the possibility of a medical alert system for their safety. When a senior medical alert is discussed with mom and dad you may be surprised how open they are to the concept of being able to get help at the push of a button. Imagine how relieved you will feel.

Its important to always think about your situation and what you need - sometimes your health can change awfully suddenly and its good to be prepared. Seniors who live with family are often less likely to feel the need to have a medical alert in their home. While its nice to have family around through part of the day, chances are you spend a number of hours each day alone. Emergencies can happen at anytime. This could be when a family member is around and able to help or it could be when you are alone. You could have a fall when it is late at night and everyone else is asleep. If falls or medical emergencies are a concern, don't wait to get yourself protected. A medical alert helps immediately to get you help instead of waiting to be discovered by a family member or hollering and hoping someone hears you. Whether you are alone or home with family all you would need to do is press the medical alert button to get the help you need. It's a smart idea for all seniors.
