The goal of every retiree is to stay physically fit and mentally active long into our golden years. Thanks to all the wonderful medical advances, this is actually quite a realistic goal to achieve. Just look at the rising life expectancy statistics for proof of this. Ten years ago, life expectancy hovered around 72. Today, that number has gone up to 78. As a way of enjoying all these extra years, more and more seniors are making the move into retirement communities designed to cater to their needs. Even though these seniors are living a completely independent lifestyle, they can still benefit from having access to a personal medical alert in their home. You just can’t be too safe!

Retirement communities are like self contained villages for seniors. There are individual homes or condos that have been especially built with the senior in mind. Translation: no stairs! These communities also offer a wide range of outdoor activities like golfing, tennis and swimming. It’s literally like living at a country club. Best of all, the retirees are surrounded with like minded individuals. It’s wonderful environment to make new friends and share life stories built on common experiences.

At each of these communities, the residents are provided the opportunity to socialize through communal dining and at the many special events. Unlike assisted living or nursing home, there isn’t always direct access to on site medical personnel. However, that kind of direct access can be made available in the home with the use of personal emergency response systems. These so-called panic button pendants or bracelets aren’t the least bit intrusive. What they are is a secure access to emergency assistance. It’s just another way of getting the most out of your golden years. [Read More...]

Even before your shipment arrives on your doorstep you will need to think about where you would like to have your medical alert located in your home. We recommend plugging in your system in a centrally located phone jack. This may be your living room, a hallway, or even a central bedroom. It is different for each house. That way our operator will be able to speak back and forth with you no matter where you are when you press your medical emergency necklace. While setting up the medical alert centrally is usually the right choice, the best thing to do is to test the medical alert just to make sure. You can do what we call the Walk Around Test. This test allows you to try speaking with an operator from each room in your house. If you need to, you can change the location after running the Walk Around Test to optimize the area covered! That way you know you will be able to speak to us anytime you press your medical emergency necklace.
