If your loved one recently found themselves living alone because of a spouse\u2019s death or divorce, consider purchasing a medical alert system such as Life Alert\u00ae or Lifeline, that she can use in case of an emergency. With a simple press of a button, your loved one will be connected to a trained emergency response center dispatcher who will call for emergency help from a family member or caregiver or medical assistance.<\/p>\n
This type of device offers peace of mind for relatives or caregivers of a senior citizen who has one or more serious conditions such as diabetes, COPD, mobility issues, memory impairments, or other illness or disability. This medical alert system can help your elderly loved one to remain as independent as possible and hopefully avoid moving to a retirement home or other senior community.<\/p>\n
In case of an emergency, your loved one presses the button on the pendant necklace. This acts as a transmitter and will initiate a phone call to its designated call center, which is available 24\/7. An operator will assess your loved one\u2019s situation and will make the appropriate phone call to get help or medical assistance.<\/p>\n
