You’ve probably felt it—that nagging worry in the back of your mind: What if Mom falls and no one is there? It’s a common fear, and for good reason. Falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults, and if help doesn’t come quickly, a minor accident can become a life-threatening situation.
The Old Solution: Life Alert Buttons / Pull Chords
For years, the go-to answer was a wearable emergency button—something Mom could push if she needed help. These devices offered peace of mind… in theory. But in reality, families often find themselves trusting a system that simply doesn’t hold up.
Here’s why traditional wearable alert systems can fail:
- Mom forgets to wear it — It’s left on the nightstand or in the bathroom when she needs it most.
- She doesn’t want to wear it — Many older adults feel embarrassed or self-conscious about wearing something that “makes them feel old.”
- She’s unable to push the button or can’t reach the chord — If she loses consciousness, hits her head, or is confused, she may not even remember what it’s for.
- The battery dies — And no one notices until it’s too late.
- Phone is off the hook or unreachable — Even if the alert goes out, she may not be able to speak or respond.
- She thinks she’s fine — After a fall, some people try to get up on their own, delaying help and risking more injury. (She may not want anyone to know when she falls because it might lead to her being forced to move.)
The bottom line? Relying on Mom to push a button is not a reliable plan.
The New Solution: 24/7 Virtual Safety with Home Care Partners
