I agree! A while ago I wrote a blog post all about this. I think it has a lot to do with the lack of value our culture as a whole places on the elderly. Sorry, but older people still care about how they look!

If the whole point of wearing a personal alarm unit is for emergencies, why are they all so UGLY? My mother keeps hers in a drawer and I don’t blame her! I wouldn’t give it to my neighbor’s barking dog to wear. It looks like it’s worth all of 35 cents. If these companies who distribute these devices are truly concerned about their customers’ welfare, why don’t they give them an ATTRACTIVE pendant to wear so it will actually be worn as intended? Shame on them.

do not sign with bay alarm they do not read thier own contracts.. sec 3 .. they probably owe thousands of people money for starting the billing from the orderdate instead of 7 days after like the contract says.. if you fight with them they will credit but not change the date.. my mother in law passed away and they charged her for 3 months
I couldn’t stop it because of the wrong billing date..and autopay on credit card
I am so upset right now I’ll write more when I am calmed down

Comment on Monitored or No-Fee: How to Choose by Joe

Since you’re out walking the dogs, the Mobile Help system seems to make a lot of sense for you. Another one to consider is the 5Star personal GPS button. I think that one is just $15 a month. With either system you can set things up with the monitoring center so that they can contact your church if the situation isn’t bad enough for an ambulance. Hope that helps!

I am seriously considering getting the mobile help now system with GPS for myself. What do you think of this system or how do you rate it? I am a single female, 73, and live alone with 3 cats and 2 dogs in a 2 story townhouse. I have no children or grandchildren. I have no family in state. I do have to climb staors and walk dogs. I have had several falls in the last 4 years, but fortunately have not broken anything. My church which is not far away is the 1st place I would call for help. Most people around me are younger but are not at home because they work. I am retired.
