My brother's mother in law fell and broke her femur.

She had one of those emergency necklace things. She pushed it,the company called an ambulance and my SIL. Ambulance was already loading her up when sis got there and they live 5 minutes away. I highly recommend this device for old folks.

1. I think it's a great service for those who live alone too, regardless of age.

9. My mom had one of those. I think they are GREAT!

The commercials are kind of cheesy, but the product itself is fantastic for anyone, regardless of age, who might need one.

10. I only wish I could convince my mom to get one of those.

But she is stubborn, stubborn, stubborn. Says she doesn't need it. Paralyzed for 27 years, completely dependent on her children. And refuses to get this simple, often life-saving device. Sometimes I want to despair.

12. Lots of older folks

in this area of Florida use those things. They actually work as advertised.
