[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 498355, member: 11791"] Usually the alarm company ones, are on the control panel. That doesn't help if you're alone, and have a medical problem and can't get to the control panel - stoke, heart attack, fall... The medical-alert buttons that you wear around your neck, are better. If the person is even semi-conscious, they can push the button and know that help is on the way. In some areas, you push the button and they will phone... if you answer, they will talk to you and figure out what you need and send targetted help. But... if you don't answer, or if they can't speak to YOU (someone else answers and won't give you the phone), they send EMS. And yes, any older person living alone - or anyone with health issues living alone - should have one, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
