My mother-in-law has been having health issues for about a year and a half now. It is stressful for everyone in the family watching her lose more of her independence, and is making everyone sad as we know she is going to need full time supervision and assistance at some point soon. But for right now my mother-in-law is still in her home that she shared with her husband, and in which they raised their children, including the hubbs, and I know she is so grateful and happy to be there. But changes have been made, including bringing in someone to help her during the day, and moving things around to help prevent accidents such as falls, putting things in easier reach for her, etc. But we all know that with even with the best prevention steps taken, accidents and falls can happen, especially with elderly parents. So it was interesting to me today to have this opportunity to check out the Medical Guardian alert system. In case of an accident, my mother-in-law can get help quickly, which would definitely give her and everyone in the family more peace of mind. It is worth checking out the website if you are interested in more information about their medical alert system, and/or getting tips on helping people getting older stay safe and independent in their homes.
