Is Home Medical Alert Right for Me?

Not sure if a Medical Alarm System is right for you? Here are some points to consider:

• Help is just a push of a button away — your medical alert bracelet or necklace will work in your home, in your yard, or even at the mailbox. The system’s range of 150 feet is half the length of a football field!
• You’ll give loved ones and caregivers peace of mind knowing that you’re protected even when they can’t be there for you.
• You’ll always be protected because you can take the system with you if you move or maintain a winter residence.

The Dangers of Falling Are Real!

Falling is one of the most serious and frightening risks for older adults and persons with limited mobility. Statistics tell the story*:

• More than one-third of adults ages 65 years and older fall each year.
• Among older adults, falls are the most common cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma.
• In 2003, more than 1.8 million seniors age 65 and older were treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries. More than 421,000 were hospitalized.

Among older adults, the majority of fractures are caused by falls. The most common fractures are of the vertebrae, hip, forearm, leg, ankle, pelvis, upper arm, and hand.

Falls happen for a myriad of reasons: tripping, unsure footing, dizziness due to drug interactions, heart problems, and many more. Don’t risk spending hours incapacitated in your own home, unable to get up, reach a phone or get help. With the push of a button on your medical alert bracelet or necklace, help will be on the way. And even though a Medical Alarm System from Sievers Security cannot reduce your risk of falling, getting help immediately is linked to shorter recovery times and reduces the chance that a fall will result in admission to a nursing home.
