Mom has Philips First Alert with Fall Detection. Her Fall Detection has responded 100% of the time for approximately 5 fall concerns She has fallen 80 feet from the box (outside) and the alert went off. We have recently moved to a larger home and I was out on the lanai... the home is approximately 2700 hundred feet and I heard the operator from the lanai calling to see if she is OK (base was in her bedroom on the other side of the house.. however... it is very important that you measure the whole home to see if the range is long enough. One time when she fell I was busy and the alert went off. I ran from the Lanai and told them I would take care of the situation and let them know if I called 911. I determined 911 was not needed but I had forgotten that I told them I would call them back. They called me 20 minutes after the first alert to make sure my mom was OK. You can't ask for better service. The alert is around her neck. Never a problem with showering and she has never complained about sleeping. I have not pursued a service to track her outside. It is beyond our needs but I would be certainly interested in one that does provide gps, Please PM me if you have any questions.
