A main health concern for folks our age is falling. I decided to get a warning system if anyone falls in the bedroom or bathroom. I put several of these small air horns near the floor of rooms in our home. IF we fall, and the other one is in another room - especially at night - press the horn and it emits a shrieking sound. Easy to hear in the house, and perhaps nearby outside.

2 are about $9 on Amazon. I bought 6.

It's simply a tool in case of a fall and we are conscious. Cheap money - hope to never use, but....
Bone builders has specific exercises developed by Tufts University to strengthen bones, help with balance and prevent falls.
