opinions please - emergency alert services

[Ronda93]

I'm gathering some information on medical/personal alert/monitoring services. A friend's mother is becoming more unsteady with age and her family is considering one of the "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up" companies.

Does anyone have an experience to share? Good providers? Ones to avoid?

Thanks in advance.

My grandmother had one. I would say all elderly and people with certain medical conditions should have one. My grandmother fell and hit her head, had a nasty cut. If she didn't have the alert service she might have laid there for hours.
