Life Alert?

kismet · ‎03-10-2010

I'm now living alone and my daughter wants me to get Life Alert just in case. I don't know anyone that has it so does anyone have any experience with it.

My mother had it. She wore it around her neck. Never had to use it. I live alone and have an Apple Watch. Has fall detection and emergency calling. Also use it for daily steps etc. You do have to pay for it and have to have a phone line which most homes now do not have. Maybe they have changed that.

Great peace...........have had mine since 2007

3 level house - stairs - basement floor concrete....doors locked..

How do you get help if you fall?

Your daughter will sleep better and so will you...just get it please.

@missy mouse I have the Apple Watch with cellular. Just have to be careful not to fall when it's charging!

I have an Apple Watch that will call someone, even 911 if I fall. I have fallen twice and it worked both times. It says it detected a hard fall and I have to answer I am ok, or it will make the calls. I can also call someone on my watch. I do not pay a monthly fee for this service.

The Apple Watch will be my choice too when I'm at that point. Can't you just charge it while you're sleeping and then put it on when you wake up?

I have Echo speakers in every room. If I should have an accident I simply need to tell Alexa to call ------ and she will call whoever it is I name.

My Mom needs something soon. She is all alone, a 3 level house, lives far from me and refuses to move. She is "NO tech", so Apple watch And Alexa are out of the question.
Please share how much Life Alert costs? Thanks!

And what do you do if you fall or need help outside your home???
