It’s been nearly six years since my mom retired and moved to Florida. She loves the weather there and has many friends. She says she’ll never move back up north. I think that is great for her, but we worry about her a lot as there is no one in the family who lives anywhere nearby. Her health is not what it used to be and she has some trouble getting around.

We struggled to find a way to maintain her safety while still allowing her the freedom of living alone. Luckily, we found a system called Life Alert that could help. Mom has had many troubles with her hip. It causes her some pain and limits her movement. She finds it difficult to sit in a chair or even get out of one. She has fallen more than once and was lucky a neighbor checked on her.

I decided that getting her the Life Alert system would be the best option. It has many features that I like. It can be used in any home and can detect when someone has fallen. That way, all she has to do is wait for help to come. Life Alert also has a smoke detector and big pushbuttons that can be pushed when help is needed. I feel so much better now that mom has this technology to help protect her. I know that she will enjoy her remaining years in Florida.
