This is an answer I gave about sending our brochure to a concerned daughter-in-law for her 81 year old mother-in-law who is heavy and wants to live in her own home. She goes on to state that her bedroom is on the 2nd floor. She is heavy, starting to weaken, but does not want to leave her home of 40 years.

I just thought I’d share this one since it is so similar to many questions or comments I receive.

Hi Lee,

Thanks for ordering our brochure, we’ll get it right out to you tomorrow.

I understand why your mother-in-law wants to stay in her own home. In my opinion, staying in your own home prolongs one’s life and allows your mother-in-law to have the best quality of life she can.

You know, when my grandfather had to leave his home of 50 years to live with my aunt, I felt it shortened his life, and he certainly wasn’t as happy as he could be. Don’t get me wrong, my aunt had him move in out of love and concern. My grandfather was my motivation to help pioneer the medical alarm industry back in 1980.

Though your mother-in-law is 81 and is heavy,  (me too ),  the best elderly alert systems like ours will keep her independent for as long as she can be alone.

Thank you for caring about her and thinking of an elderly alert system. These often give you the first alert you need that a loved senior is in trouble.

Regardless of which company you choose, you will be making the right decision for her in my humble opinion.

Bless you,

Jeff
