Aging Safely: Emergency Response Systems on Yahoo! Health

Having been a Nursing Assistant in nursing homes and in private homes for years, this is a great wakeup article. I urge everyone who has an elderly relative in their own home to get something like this. It could save their life. Too many times falls occur when they are alone, and they can't always get to the phone on time. The longer they lay the greater the problems once they DO get help. Falls for anyone who is disabled can be very dangerous.
