[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if what you're referencing is a different service or not, but I have used Amazon echoes all throughout my house for years and find it super helpful to reach my family members - husband and kids. I actually am moving my mom into a senior independent living apartment soon which comes with the medical alert button, but I was planning on also giving her two of my echoes for her 1 bedroom apartment since she will be in another state. This will allow me (if tied to my own Amazon account) to drop in on her and make sure she's okay when/if she doesn't answer her phone.

My mom loves the current echo she is borrowing from a different family member (she loves to listen to music on it), but because it's tied to their Amazon account, I can't use it to "drop in" and reach her currently like I would like to.

Also, if your parent is bad with technology you might need to leave some index card reminders on how to use the Echo. I did this for my mom in the beginning when she couldn't remember "Alexa". [/quote]
