Deb - Yes, I do recall you living in an over 55 community. That story about not quickly (and I mean quickly!!) hitting the button is so important to remember. The first time I set it off was the first day I wore it, a voice came over the monitor asking me if I was OK. I said yes, they confirmed who I was and asked if i needed assistance. I was taken back a little since it was on my wrist for about 5 hours and all of sudden voices come from my left wrist. I had to give the person my name and date of birth. That confirmed who I was, and I was OK. Odd part I did not fall. I bumped my arm on closet door and that's all it needed. I do suggest such a device for anyone living alone and having a tendency to trip or fall.
