I had Life Alert for a couple of years. Excellent service, but very pricey.

They have a pendant that you wear around your neck. It is waterproof, so you can even take it in the shower.

Expensive though.

I had it about 8 years ago. Back then, it was $70 per month.

And you don't have to just use it for medical emergencies. It can be used to contact the police or fire departments.

There might be other emergency alert devices that are cheaper and do some good things also.

AARP has a bunch of articles on Seniors and safety.

Here's one:

Thanks for the information! Wow! I didn't know Life Alert was so expensive! I will look into the AARP link that you sent me.

Not only AARP! Check with you local Senior Services for brochures and programs they may offer about safety on different topics. And don't forget to reach out to your local law enforcement. I bet their community services division may have some information about safety issues.
