NARRATOR: Of the 35 million Americans over the age of 65, 1 in 3 will fall in a given year. Falls are the leading cause of accidental death among seniors.
CALL CENTER: Mrs. Fitzgerald, this is the medical alert monitoring center. Are you okay? Do you need some help?
MRS. FITZGERALD: No, no, no, but please -- please get my son on the line.
CALL CENTER: Remain calm, and we'll call your son right now.
NARRATORS: Seniors are hospitalized for fall-related injuries 5 times more often than they are from injuries from all other causes.
MRS. FITZGERALD: You know, I've always enjoyed my independence and the comfort I feel of living by myself, but when I heard that a friend had a stroke, I knew it was time that I looked into a medical alert system.
SON: I researched my options, and I really liked this system from Medical Care Alert because she can talk with the medical alert monitoring center without being in the same room as that box. I wanted her to be able to communicate through the pendant because in emergency, I want the trained professionals to know exactly where she is. And sometimes it's not an emergency, and there's no need to cause a scene. The medical alert monitoring center can get a hold of me, and I can come over.
MRS. FITZGERALD: And it's affordable, too.
MRS. FITZGERALD: I always wear my medical alert pendant. Peace of mind while remaining independent means a lot to me.
