For those of us who have elderly parents living on their own, it can worry us at times if they are doing alright. I say this because my parents in law live 3 hours away from us and my DH calls them everyday to ensure that they are well. Dad just turned 90 and mom is in her 60s, an ex-stroke patient. Though they have a helper at home, it is not easy to manage and handle two old folks who have dementia and a host of physical ailments.
If only we have Direct Alert here, an Emergency Response System that can connect our parents to someone in seconds when there is an emergency – anytime, any day. This is a fabulous home device consisting of a control panel and personal help button. It can even be worn as a medical alert bracelet when in the shower as it is water resistant of up to 3 feet. In fact, it should be worn at all times in the house. Besides, it serves as a medication reminder for seniors who may have difficulties remembering, like my parents in law. This personal 911 call has a wireless range of 150 feet from the main unit and this high quality device is currently available in Canada nationwide.
To me, Direct Alert is like having a guardian watching over you 24/7 except that you can still enjoy the freedom of independence. Even if you aren’t able to answer the call after pressing the help button, the emergency response team will send help to you immediately. With a one time equipment fee of $299.95 plus a monthly fee of $17.95, you can have the peace of knowing that your parents or dependents are in good hands. For those who prefer to try it out for a short time, you can rent it at $39.95 with a minimum 3 months usage. You can order it online or call 1-877-4-911-SOS.
