As people get older, they, their families, and caregivers worry about them suffering a fall or medical emergency when alone. In this era of technology, systems have been developed to give seniors the ability to alert third-party monitoring companies to summon help.
A recent review of 20 such companies has identified those most likely to provide the best service and value. Analysts looked at such factors as system performance, ease of use, affordability, foreign language capability, and out-of-home options.
Medical Guardian was rated Best Overall because of its high-tech options that can be easily customized as well as overall versatility. In terms of affordability, Bay Alarm Medical ranks tops the list while still offering a range of quality features.
Fortunately, seniors living alone today don’t have to feel vulnerable or worry about medical mishaps. Help is just a few seconds away.
Council of Seniors Wants Retirees to Feel Secure
Extra income can provide better technology for seniors. That’s one reason why Council of Seniors keeps working to get Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act. You need this bill to make up for inadequate Social Security cost of living adjustments (COLAs) that aren’t keeping up with inflation. As a result of Congress’ inaction, you’re missing out on the $581 that should have been paid all along.
Signing our petition today is the first step you can take to help show Congress we expect more from them. We’ll greatly appreciate your participation in returning this money to seniors. Together, we’ll get it done!
