In the USA, there are thousands of elderly family members living alone, or with their spouse, who do not want to leave their home and move in with a relative, or to a nursing home, regardless of their age or medical conditions.  The elderly are resistant to change and it is very important to their quality of life to live where they feel content and secure in familiar surroundings.  But let's face the truth: elders who live without a caregiver or younger relative can face many risks while retaining their independence and dignity, ultimately putting their lives in jeopardy every day.  Daily potential life threatening health emergencies include stroke, heart attack, falling, burns, blood clots, taking the wrong dosage of medication, home break-in, fire....just to name a few of the hazards that threaten our elderly in their normal day-to-day routine. 

Taking the inappropriate dosage of medication alone accounts for around 125,000 deaths annually.  And the statistics for the risk of stroke, heart attack, and potentially fatal blood clots increase dramatically with age.  Over 1.6 million elderly people end up in the hospital annually from falling accidents, but over 58,000 falls are fatal.  The traditional personal emergency response systems previously available alert a national call center who try to determine the nature of the emergency and eventually determine who should be notified- fire, ambulance, police, relatives- but this traditional method wastes precious minutes that can be critical to a loved one's survival.  Every second counts. 

Now there is a much more complete system that goes beyond any capabilities of the old models, eliminating those wasted minutes while providing many different essential daily living aids to the challenges that the elderly face.  Introducing the revolutionary and world's first Daily Living Assistant: the SilverCare Medical Alert System.  It comes with a base console and stylish, yet water resistant and shower-friendly watch and pendant options. 

  

How is it different?  It acts as a 911 alert, so with the touch of a button, your loved one speaks directly to expertly trained local emergency care personnel.  It also stores 6 contact numbers for one touch calling for immediate two-way live communication to a close relative or neighbor if the emergency is not life threatening, with hands- free answering for incoming calls.  Many traditional systems do not allow two-way communication, so the individual needing help just waits, hoping that their plea for help will be answered. 

The SilverCare® Medical Alert System/Personal Safety Alert Device also provides those imperative medication and doctor appointment reminders and stores 'In Case of Emergency' information.   The Wireless Light On/Off Switch greatly reduces the risk of falling when going to the bathroom in the dark by illuminating the way, bringing the ultimate in safety while mobile.  It is a multiple user, lifesaving daily living aid that supports up to 4 pendants or wrist watches, while it is also portable for visits  away from home, or even a move, unlike some units that are installed into a houses' hardwiring.  This system helps the elderly to retain independence while providing a secure lifestyle, even if they live alone. It additionally enhances their quality of life from the peace of mind of knowing that help is only a button push away if they need it. And it is the most affordable, easy to use system, with no monthly payments or contracts- just one purchase that will protect relatives to the fullest, without the monthly monitoring charge.
