Old age is beset with many problems, health issues among them being utmost concern. With joint families having become more or less a norm of the old times, it is the seniors who often quite unhappily find themselves left with hardly any day to day assistance from the younger family members. As arms, legs and muscles get weaker, body balance is adversely affected making old persons far more vulnerable to suffer a fall. Statistics reveal that aged people suffer most injuries due to falls, and within the house! This would indicate that possibly impaired mobility and unsteady body balance have more to do with such accidents than factors such as traffic and rush for work. In case an aged person slips badly or falls down when there is no one around at home to take immediate care, it could be a serious situation.
Apart from Medical Alert, fall detectors are another option for seniors. A fall detector serves a great purpose to protect seniors. It’s equipped with a manually operated alert button as well as an automatic one. The alarm triggered by either way calls the Emergency Care Centre without delay. The fall sensors function with the help of a tilt detector that the user wears; any tilt of more than 60 degrees activates sends a signal that reaches the Emergency Care Centre.
Fall Detector
The Fall Detector is thus an invaluable aid to keep a senior and her/his family stress free. You can rely on the quickness the Emergency Care Centre reaches the senior in need; perhaps quicker than a family member could have arranged. The senior wearing it too is confident about calling for emergency assistance if needed by using the manual button; even if he/she loses consciousness, the automatic detector is in place to do the necessity.
