A Failed Squat and Call for Help.

After COVID, I went to see my mom (who lives in another state), and who lives alone although across the street from my sister. I got her setup with a service to provide 24/7 emergency care if needed via buttons we placed around the house and that she wore on her wrist. My sister says she uses it to get the handsome firefighters over…..

I am always bothering her to do her physical therapy exercises like walking, doing some exercises standing and sitting (like the hallelujah pose to fix her posture and help her breath better!). One day, she was alone doing her standing exercises and doing some squats when she went to low and slid to the floor. The help button saved the day again!! We all hate it when she waits for hours in some position waiting for my sister when she should just use her button. For example, one morning when I was staying with her, I found her half slid off the bed and rescued her by having her put her arms overhead and pulling her back onto the bed.

We have it setup that they will immediately call my sister or her husband, who can pop over quickly if needed else send the emergency responders. One of the best investments we have made to support her!
