Do not fill this in!Fall alarms are important for elderly who live alone or have a chronic health condition. They help reduce their fear of falling, which can impact their strength and balance and lead to reduced activity.<br /><br />Falls are not only dangerous, but they can also lead to life-altering injuries. Even a mild fall, such as tripping over a throw rug or sliding out of a chair can cause significant damage.<br /><br />A medical alert system can detect a fall, automatically call for help and connect you with an emergency service provider. These devices come in a variety of forms, from pendants to smartwatches and mobile apps.<br /><br /> [https://personalmedicalalarm.com/ alarms for elderly] Most fall detection systems work through accelerometers and other sensors to detect movement. They use an algorithm to determine if the movement is indicative of a true fall or a false alarm.<br /><br />Some systems have a fall sensor that hangs on the wall. Another option is a sensor that sits inside a home’s toilet. This type of device can be helpful in the bathroom, where it is often more difficult for seniors to fall.<br /><br />Several in-home medical alert providers offer fall detection as an add-on to their service. This is usually an additional $5 to $10 per month.<br /><br />A common issue with in-home fall alert systems is that users can’t communicate with a monitoring center when they’re far away from the base station. This can be solved by adding a voice extension.<br /><br />Founded by a husband and wife gerontologist team, Lifeline offers a wide range of personal alert products and services for older adults. It’s the industry leader in home and on-the-go medical alerts, backed by a 24/7 response center and hand-picked associates.
