Getting started with a new medical alert in mom’s home is pretty straightforward. Setting up the equipment, testing and showing mom how to use her new emergency button is a breeze for most families. I truly think the most difficult part of all this is remembering to test your system monthly. In the short-term, remembering to test actually is easy. Most seniors are excited about their new system and enjoy testing it to see how it works. But as mom’s system becomes a normal thing for her around the house, remembering to test becomes more and more difficult...

If you've studied up on our fall alert system, you know that it comes with one button designed to detect falls AND your choice of a necklace or wristband standard button. The fall detection button is exclusively available as a necklace - for a good reason. It uses an accelerometer and gyroscope inside the button to monitor your movement. This allows it to activate during significant changes (that resemble a fall) while not activating during other day-to-day movements.

Your Contact List – <i>A Reason to Meet the Neighbors</i>

Some seniors have lived in the same neighborhood for many years and have a built in base of friends. Others may have recently moved and don't know the neighbors. If that's you, here's a great reason to bake some cookies to give to the neighbors: Your Medical Alert Contact List.

One of the biggest differences from one mobile GPS service to the next is whether or not it utilizes "breadcrumbs." Many people make their decision on price alone and will never know what breadcrumbs are or why they are so important to a mobile service. Turns out that if a company doesn't offer breadcrumbs with their service, it's not in their best interest to tell you what you're missing...

Waterproof Help Buttons (Not Water-Resistant)

There's a lot of different terminology to learn when choosing a senior alert system. One excellent example is "waterproof" versus "water-resistant" help buttons. What do these terms mean? They seem awfully similar to someone who is unfamiliar with systems like this. Ultimately, we recommend that seniors and their families look for systems that come with waterproof buttons...

Some people shop for a medical alert service like they would for any other service provider (for a cable provider, cell phone provider, etc). While the similarities certainly are there, finding the right medical alert provider for your senior loved one is a unique challenge. At Senior Safety, we believe that compassion is a crucial ingredient to any solid service for seniors...
