There are approximately 11 million Americans over 65, and it is estimated that one in three adults 65 and older fall each year.

The lives of older Americans who prefer to stay at home are improved by being able to receive practical and emotional support from wearing an emergency necklace pendant.

Wearing a “SOS button” gives adult children and their elderly relatives’ peace of mind knowing that help with a fall or medical emergency is a push of a button away.

Since about a third of older folks live alone, the help button allows the security that in case of an emergency within minutes the first responders are alerted without the need to reach a phone.

So often my week is filled with calls from our clients or their families letting me know how comforted they were speaking to our monitoring center in the midst of these emergencies.

Just knowing that the paramedics are in route, and their loved ones have been alerted gives such reassurance in what is a very frightening time.

It warms my heart to hear each story, and to know that we have helped another one of our customer’s fulfill the wish of growing older in the comfort of their own homes.

The emergency necklace pendant has paved the way for this lifestyle revolution, making living independently as a senior not only a wish but a reality.
