Default I Fell and I Couldn't Get Up

Last week I fell late at night on my way to my bed. This is the third incident where I found myself in a position where I couldn't get up without help, the last being prior to my moving to TV. If my wife wasn't available or if I couldn't have awoken here when calling for help, I would have been, well I think you know the scenario.

Before continuing let me say that I did not get injured in the fall. I landded on my dupa and it was just uncomfortable until we could get the fire department to arrive and help get me up. Well, maybe my pride was hurt a little! The Villages Florida

What I would like is for someone who may have used a service like Lifeline, Alert 1 or Life Alert, or have a loved one who uses the service to advise me on how they like the service as well as any information you can provide beyond what may be found on their websites. Home use is primary, but the ability to use the service when say I'm traveling between my home and the mail station on my mobility scooter.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
