My own mom has a balance problem and bad knees and now that's she's
alone (dad died a year and a half ago) us kids bought her a home
security system and I insisted on one of those pendants that you push
that calls 911 if you're in trouble. We got her in the habit of keeping
her cell phone in her pocket but a button to push without having to talk
is better. We had a talk recently about it and I'm glad we did. She
thought the pendant would work everywhere, but it's wirelessly connected
to the home security system, so now she knows it won't work from a
certain distance from home.
