Life Lines and such have helped out many of my patients as well. Cell phones are good, but sometimes it is not always available or if something happens there are more steps involved with using a phone vs pusing a "Life Line " button.

As for the stairs...would there be anyway to put in a stair glide?? There are many different type/models and from the ones I have seen they do not take up very much room/space. I have had several patients use them and have seen the benefits to having them installed.

The problem with a cell phone is that many times, when a fall happens, the individual can't speak, or articulate their problem. This may lead to emergency services identifying it as a fake call, or an accidental call. Medical Alert Systems allow you to press a button and get help. Another problem with carrying a cell phone is, during a fall a cell phone can easily fall out of a pocket, or break in the fall. The medical alert button is strung around the neck, so its harder to fall out of reach and its durable, making it harder to break in a fall.
