A personal medical alarm is highly recommended for most seniors and is essential for people who suffer from a list of many common medical conditions and disabilities. People with these conditions are at risk of falls or the sudden onset of acute symptoms or deterioration in their existing condition. The statistics when it comes to falls can be surprising, as most people aren’t aware that 1 in 3 people over 65 years of age have a substantial fall in any given year. Alarms are also recommended by nurses in many circumstances for seniors who have been recently discharged from hospital.
