[quote=Anonymous]You cannot solely rely on technology to care for an elderly person who lives alone. Especially one you already knows has a history of falling. The commercials make it seem like a perfect solution, but be realistic. Even if he fell and DIDN'T hurt himself, do you really think emergency responders want to be sent to his house to pick him up off the floor? Get real. This person needs to have someone stop by his house every day to check on him. No matter what his financial situation is like, there is likely an organization that can help. Suggest you contact senior services for his location and get advice on what they can offer. Meals on Wheels, for instance. They will come once per day with a hot meal, and a check-in. [/quote]
