subject: Take the Life Alert Quiz [print this page] Do you or an elderly loved one need a personal emergency response system? A personal emergency response system is a medical alert pendant or watch that all the senior need do is push a button to signal for help in an emergency. If you're not sure a medical alert system is needed take this simple quiz.
Answer Yes or No
Do you have a senior citizen in your family?
Does the senior live far from you?
Does the senior live alone?
Is the senior still active with chores, such as housecleaning and gardening?
Does the senior need assistance with meal preparations, bathing, and/or dressing?
Has the senior fallen recently?
Is the senior unsteady or finding difficulty balancing when standing and walking?
Has the senior shown signs of forgetfulness?
Has the senior been diagnosis with an age-related disease?
Is the senior taking more than 2 medications?
Do you work full time?
If you answered YES to 3 or more of these questions, you may need a personal emergency response system. Regardless if your elderly loved one is in good health and independent, sometimes when kneeling to do basic chores or gardening, an otherwise healthy senior can get fatigued and suddenly find themselves unable to get up, and if family members work all day, help may not be readily available. With Life Alert Emergency Response, your venerable one only needs to press the button on their Life Alert pendant or watch to get help, fast.
Though the senior may carry a cell phone, there are times when it's not available, such as, when bathing. The bathroom is the area of the home where a majority of falls happen. However, with Life Alert's waterproof pendant or watch, protection is always with them, even in the shower.
Let Life Alert be the lifesaving link for you and your family. Life Alert ensures that in your loved one's time of need, help is on the way, even when they can't reach a phone.
