In Remembrance

I checked the site again and found this:
Life Alert Emergency Response, Inc. Life Alert provides medical emergency response when seniors experience life threatening events. Life Alert is the only company endorsed by C. Everett Koop, MD, former US Surgeon General. Life Alert appears on TV and in AARP magazine. Since 1987, Life Alert ® has been in the business of providing emergency response services to the elderly and handicapped on a 24-hour, 7 day a week basis. Life Alert strives to provide the highest quality of services to its consumers. ************************************************** ****** Interesting how seniors are mentioned first and handicapped people are sort of added as an afterthought. As for how much the service costs, I don't know because the links don't work. Maybe someone who uses the service in those states will see this and post some information.

[QUOTE=Braindrain;4822]We're having a discussion over on the SSDI board about living independently.
This is part of another member's reply to me: Oh yeah, there is something called "life alert", but there is one thing that coud be an issue? When your shunt goes down, does it go down without warning or do you normally get gradual signs? This may or may not make a difference as long as you get into surgery ASAP ************************************************** ******* I wasn't sure how much help Life Alert could be, since we could have gradual signs of shunt failure which may go undetected for a while, or the shunt could fail so quickly, that we may not have time to react. What do you all think about this? Would Life Alert necklaces be an option for us?[I had a life alert for almost a year, but it was of little use to me. The darn thing would sometimes go off without me in the room. And when I did use it, only a couple of times, all they could do was send ambulances. And the price of the darn thing was never the same from month to month. I got rid of it] |

I have two forms of medical ID.
One is a bracelet and the other is on my car keys it is a dog tag with the medical alert symbol. I also have several business cards of my neurosurgeon and several blue medical alert identification cards for the Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy procedure. Hblank89 Always be prepared. You never know when it might save your life. |

My grandma is very sick and my parents are unable to watch her anymore because they are moving to Montana for my Dad's job. I can't be at her house all the time watching her because I am in school for my masters. For some peace of mind, I'm considering getting a Medical Alert system for her house. I need a review of a good one before I check into it further. Has anyone bought from that alert 1 website? Thanks for the help.
