I have one for my husband who has Parkinsons disease. It has never been used but on the rare occasions that I may leave him alone for a short time it would be useful since he cannot use a phone to dial 911. He would only have to press the button. His speach is poor but the company is aware of this. Living alone it would be a good idea if you got into the habit of wearing it around your neck while in the house in case of a fall especially in the shower or bathroom. Ours is waterproof. Having a cell phone is good but only if you carry it around the house with you.
