The Right Help in Any Emergency
Emergency Response USA's monitoring service provides an important link for seniors with chronic conditions that increase their risk of falling, or which could leave the senior in a state in which they need help rapidly. However, emergency monitoring can also help a senior living alone figure out the right type of help to summon--police, fire, medical, or a friend, neighbor of family member--depending on the situation.
