When I was younger, I never understood why it was so important for my grandparents and parents to maintain their independence as they grew older. Now I do and I'm always thinking about how I can be independent when I'm in my 80s and 90s. With more services on the Internet, we'll be able to order food and household supplies online, and we'll be able to do all our banking online what with the wonders of EFT and now scanning software where you can scan in checks directly to your account without ever leaving the house. Someday, over the next 20 years, I think we'll have in-home diagnostic equipment so the doc can examine us and prescribe medication without us ever leaving the house, and eventually there will be backup computers that will kick in when our memory fails or we suffer from dementia.
But what if you fall and it happens so fast you can't push a button to signal emergency personnel? The answer is already here. There's a Medical Alarm made by BrickHouse Security that alerts emergency personnel at any time (24/7) when it detects the motion of a fall. You could fall and be unconscious, but someone will still be alerted to come and get you. And the device also has a panic button so you can summon help whenever you feel you are in trouble.
BrickHouse Security also a makes a bracelet with a GPS tracking device. If you get lost and don't know where you are, you use the speaker phone to call for help. Emergency personnel are able to determine your location from the GPS and help is sent. This is also an excellent product for folks who suffer with Alzheimers and sometimes wander off. So feel a little better about maintaining your independence as you age. BrickHouse Security has brought the future to the present.

I got this from brickhousesecurity.com for my mother. I used to be afraid leaving her alone, now she has more freedom and is much happier.
