High-Tech Products to Keep the Elderly Safe at Home

Jan. 23, 2009 - PRLog -- Giving the gift of security to your loved one may be the most important thing that you can do in 2009, especially if that loved one is elderly.  Many elderly people want to live in their own home for as long as possible, after all that’s where a lifetime of memories may be.  On the other hand, for some seniors facing living alone for the first time, it can be overwhelming, especially if they are facing health and mobility problems.  Whatever the situation may be, technology can help the elderly maintain safety and a sense of independence. That’s why a Home Emergency Alert System can be that choice of technology, which will provide the gift of security, safety, and comfort for both your loved one and you.

Home Security Store offers a line of Home Emergency Alert Systems that vary in cost and function.  You can buy an alert system to call a dispatch center that you pay a monthly fee to, or an alert system that dials 911 directly, or one that dials phone numbers that you program.  Alert systems can be controlled several ways, including by a remote attached to a wireless wrist band, belt clip, necklace, or key chain.

If you’re thinking about buying a Home Emergency Alert System consider this:

* What is the range of the remoter or pendant?
* Are multiple remotes available?
* Is the remote water resistant?
* Does the system come with battery backup in case of a power failure?
* How many digits can the dialer call?
* If choosing a monitoring service, what is the monthly fee?

Here are just 2 Home Emergency Alert Systems that Home Security Store would like you to consider:  

MS – 2001 SKYLINK Emergency Auto Dialer:  
This auto dialer can dial for help in the event of a fall or other emergency.  The device can automatically dial up to 9 phone numbers that you preselect.  The system dials when the panic button on the wireless key chain remote is pressed.  There is a 40 second message that you prerecord that plays each time a number is dialed.  In addition, the SKYLINK Emergency Auto Dialer features 2-way communication capability allowing the person in trouble to carry on a conversation with a person on the other end of the line.  The SKYLINK can be purchased Online at http://www.homesecuritystore.com/

The 911 Guardian Phone:  
The Guardian Phone is a simple, more direct solution when you need help.  Requiring no monthly fees, you can talk directly to the emergency 911 operator, instead of calling a call center.  The water resistant pendant, which is included, can be worn around your neck or carried in your pocket at all times.  The 911 Guardian Phone can be purchased Online at http://www.homesecuritystore.com/

Other changes or devices that will help make a home safer for seniors are shower hand rails and non-slip mats, putting fire hazard items on a timer, putting kitchen items in low easy to reach places, and having an escape route in case of an emergency.
