Care Monitoring/call for help without monthly fees
 

I wanted to post this to anyone interested. Clark Howard was talking about it:

Compare Our Medical Alert Systems

or found at ATScares.com

My parents had a similar device in the assisted living community in which they lived. It seemed to work very well for them, but most commercial ones have a high monthly monitoring cost.

A 3 series Apple Watch works very well, even while swimming in the ocean. It’s always with you, even if you fall etc. Siri recognizes your voice.

Thank you, TomC, for this timely posting. I received my Philips Lifeline Monitor on the 22nd & just couldn't bring myself to open it. I opened it today & because my phone plugs into my modem & the modem into the wall jack, I couldn't understand how to hook it up. It said not to use a splitter. So I planned on returning it. I have never heard of monitors that you could buy! I have no friends, my mom is in Mission Oaks and my sister lives near Orlando so I like the Guardian 911, which only dials 911. I'm going to check with CenturyLink to see how I can hook this up. I can't put the cordless phone answering machine in the spare bedroom since I sleep late & those robocalls & appt reminder calls start early & would wake me up. Thanks again! :mademyday:

** I meant router, not modem. I think I can put the router in the spare bedroom since it's close by.
** Thanks for the tip, PJOHNS2654. That's something else to consider.
