My mother fell last week, we believe she passed out. She could not get herself up. My brother was there, he could not get her up either. He lives with her part time, if he wasn't there it would of been bad. The fire department had to come. We have talked for over a yr about getting her a necklace alert button. But you all know how that is. Mom is a frickin hard head. I have done research of these alert devices. I am at a loss. Any advice? And we are on a budget too. thank you all
Please install a lockbox. Amazon carries them. Read reviews. Set up with a code. Place house key inside and fire department can let themselves in.
If your mom is falling she should not be alone. Call Council on Aging and have an assessment done. Someone will come a couple of times a month free of charge. They will help bathe, prepare meals, light housekeeping and so on. They will sit with her for four hour shifts.
What is causing her falls? Does she need to see a neurologist? Does she have seizures?
I don't know of any particular brands that are preferred. I hope someone will post who does.
