Helping Seniors Age in Place
According to a recent AARP Survey, over 90% of seniors said it was “extremely or very important for them to stay at home as long as possible.” With simple installation and a cost of less than $1 per day, a Safety Monitoring system is one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to make this desire a reality. Accidents are a top cause of death and disability for seniors, particularly those living alone. While Safety Monitoring systems cannot prevent accidents, they can greatly minimize the effect by enabling a quick response from neighbors and EMS.Explaining Safety Monitoring Systems to Your Loved One
Despite the seemingly obvious benefits of Safety Monitoring systems, some seniors are wary of any changes to their home environment. If your loved one is reluctant to wear a Safety Monitoring button, we have tips on persuading your loved one to use a Safety Monitoring system. No matter how much a senior may think they don’t want a Safety Monitoring system, they will almost always prefer it to the alternative of needing to move out of their home. While a Safety Monitoring system is a critical part of any senior safety plan, it is by no means the only tool at your disposal. There are many products available to aid in senior mobility and safety. Be aware and ready to recommend the use of a walker, a cane, a scooter, or bed rails. In addition, there are a lot of safety tips that a caregiver can recommend that are free or low cost and easy to implement.At Emergency Response USA we want to help seniors live safely and independently in the comfort of their own homes for as long as possible.
