Frequently Asked Questions

They already fell once. How does this prevent the next one?

It doesn't prevent falls—nothing fully can. But it ensures that if a fall happens, you're alerted the same day instead of discovering them days later.

Should we get a medical alert pendant instead?

Pendants are great for conscious emergencies, but many seniors don't wear them consistently. Daily check-ins work even if they forget to wear a device.

They're scared to be alone now after the fall.

Daily check-ins provide reassurance. They know someone is monitoring whether they're okay, which can reduce anxiety about being alone.

What changes should we make to their home?

Remove trip hazards, add grab bars, improve lighting. And add a daily check-in as the digital safety net alongside physical modifications.
