A medical alert is often safer than a cell phone for seniors. The help button might be more accessible during an emergency, especially in the shower or bath; if the user falls, has a sudden accident or otherwise needs medical assistance, they don’t have to worry about reaching a phone to call for help.
Aging in place is the preferred senior living option for many people. Products like medical alerts, walk-in bathtubs, hearing aids, bed rails and other items can make this safer and more accessible.
