You want your aging family member to live a good quality of life for as long as possible without needing in-home care or moving to an assisted living facility. But you care deeply about them and worry about them getting sick, hurt, or falling without being able to get help. Thousands of Americans across the country share this experience, but there is a solution.

It might be time to consider getting your loved one a medical alert device. Medical alert devices are life-saving and can assist Florida seniors during emergencies. Many of them have GPS and device tracking and can detect if your family member has fallen. They’re simple to use and can help seniors get immediate help from Jacksonville-area professionals.

In this blog post, we’ll go over some of the ways medical alert devices can benefit you and your loved one. Let’s get started!

More and more older Americans opt for the trend of “aging in place” instead of uprooting their lives to move to an assisted living center. The number one reason for this is due to wanting to stay in their own home and to be closer to family and friends. Another concern is cost – moving is expensive – and the loss of autonomy.

Luckily, mPERS devices (mobile personal emergency response systems) are available to support aging in place and provide a sense of freedom with an additional layer of comfort and security. In this blog, we’ll offer a few reasons why now may be the best time to consider an mPERS device for a loved one.

If you have a loved one in your life who is newly concerned about falling or is in potential need of medical assistance, then you know how difficult navigating this situation can be. Having help at their fingertips improves not only their peace of mind but also yours, especially if you don’t live nearby in Florida.

The alternative is to lose valuable freedom and move into an assisted living center, which is undoubtedly the best choice in some situations. However, it’s likely your loved one still desires some flexibility in their lifestyle that they would lose if moved to a center in Jacksonville or the surrounding area.
