I knew a lady who had been diagnosed with a neuro motor disorder, who fell in her house and had no way to summon help.. She lay there unattended for four days. She was still alive when help arrived, but did not survive long after being admitted to the hospital. This is a wake-up call. If it takes a medical alert device to call 911, so be it. For all the reasons stated above one's cell phone may not be available
