According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year one out of four seniors age 65 or older reports a fall. Regardless of whether they are seriously injured, seniors who live independently often limit their daily activities because of a fear of falling. These self-limiting behaviors can lead to physical decline, feelings of isolation and depression.
Seniors, who live on their own, report feeling safer and more secure when they have a medical alarm button. Unfortunately, many seniors resist calling the professional monitoring center associated with their alarm unless they think it is a life or death emergency. Poor judgements made after a fall can have serious consequences. RescueTouch innovative CareCallers™ train wearers to call every time a fall occurs, especially when they are not sure it is serious.
If you are caring for a senior with limited mobility or who gets disoriented, CareCaller™ has an advanced feature that can’t be found on other older devices. Pre-designated contacts can text the CareCaller™ device and receive its current location quickly and easily and can even call a senior’s CareCaller™ directly to check-in and make sure they are okay.
