I am 86 years old and have always been independent. Asking for help has always been out of the question. MobileHelp has been a solution acceptable for me and my husband and children. I have had MobilHelp for three years and another company for three or four years prior to that, so I know what security it gives. Last year I fell, and could not reach my husband, both phones were out of reach, I was finally forced to use my button. It was a wonder for me. Within fifteen minutes there was help calling from my kitchen door. Because I hit my head pretty hard I was taken to the ER and checked out OK. I do not worry about being alone any more. PS My husband. at 89, wears our pendent when I have to leave him alone now.
