Better Safe Than Sorry With Dot Boyd
Did you know that the average length of time that a senior living alone goes without help after an emergency is 18 hours? That’s a very long time for a senior to be left alone, and we’re dedicated to resolving this serious issue with some helpful advice from our senior safety specialist, Dot Boyd.
Dot has a passion for helping seniors preserve their independence and dignity. With the latest technology specifically designed for the health and safety of seniors, she has devoted her life to sharing her experiences and resources to help others maintain an improved quality of life.
The Statistics Are Shocking
18 hours on the floor, kitchen, or backyard in need of emergency help and having no way to reach a phone is frightening. Can you imagine being left alone for so long without help?
Even a few hours can feel like an eternity after having a stroke or being trapped on the floor! In worse situations, days pass without emergency help. Going that long without help makes it difficult to rehabilitate, return to independence, and can dramatically impact the long-term quality of life.
How Can We Prevent This Issue?
One of my clients who suffered through 2 days without assistance now uses a waterproof emergency pendant. She wears it with her everywhere; she sleeps with it, bathes with it, and can use it in any situation. These emergency pendants are equipped with GPS, and after the device is activated, you don’t need to give your address or provide directions to the emergency responders.
Another key advantage of these devices is that family and emergency contacts on your list will be notified immediately. Especially beneficial in situations where you may not be able to speak or feel confused, these devices are an invaluable lifeline for any unexpected situation.
Who Should Invest in an Emergency Pendant?
Everyone that lives alone, people that want extra protection while exercising or running errands, and anyone that’s at risk of falls or has health concerns. Unfortunately, many people are hesitant to invest in these devices because they may feel young inside, but our aging bodies are often saying something very different!
If you or a loved one could benefit from these versatile systems, feel free to reach out to Dot Boyd directly. She’s always happy to share her wealth of experiences and insight into these life-saving technologies.
