If your parent lives alone or you live far away, an alert device is the difference between waiting hours and getting help in minutes. Choose devices that your parent will actually wear and use.

How to choose
A few things worth checking before you buy.
Safety first. No device replaces regular contact. Discuss what is monitored and who is notified, and respect your parent's privacy.
- Pendants and wristbands must be comfortable and waterproof.
- Fall-detection helps if the wearer cannot press a button.
- Check that the alert reaches several people and the response team.
- GPS trackers help people who may wander.
- Test devices monthly and keep batteries charged.
