| Medical Alert Information I'm trying to choose a medical alert company for my mom. She lives alone so this would be a good thing to have if she fell or had another medical emergency. Do any of you know about these companies or have recommendations? |

| Radio Shack use to sell a phone that had a necklace alarm thing you would wear then if you need it you pushed the button and it automatically dial up to 3 numbers for you that you pre-programmed with a message-so you could use it to call family or call the police or an ambulance. I know someone that had one of these and they really felt safe with it, it was reliable and never had to pay a monthly fee.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | We have one for my Dad where we programmed my cell phone, if no answer my house, then my sisters and then my brother. My dad just pushes a button on a necklace he wears around his neck if he needs help and i get a prerecorded message (my brother recorded it) saying this is Dad an I am having an emergency. It allows like 20 seconds for us to talk to him. We opted for this instead of one that alerts 911 since my Dad is 88 and may push the button by mistake(which he does alot) and the police would come for nothing. There is no monthly fee just the cost of the unit. I think it was 160.00 at a medical supply store. I think it is called Life alert.
