Convincing a Loved One
It is not always easy to convince a loved one that a medical alert device is right for them. But we know that you are simply concerned with their safety, well-being, and ability to remain safely in their home as long as possible.
Many loved ones we work with are independent, active, opinionated seniors who have never relied on the help of others before and don’t feel as if they want to start now. And we get that.
But we also understand that you are concerned. The senior you love may live alone, or frequently be alone. And you might live too far away to be there to help whenever your senior needs it. Or you may have a job or other responsibilities that make it impossible for you to regularly monitor your senior loved-one or help them if a crisis occurs.
Statistics show that the more time seniors spend on the ground after a fall, the less likely they will be to return to an independent and active lifestyle.
Below we list a few suggestions to help you communicate your concern to your loved one, and explain that you only have their best interests at heart.
"Mom had a fall and was all alone, now I have the peace of mind it won't happen again."
1. Keep your reasons simple
No one likes long, complicated explanations, and seniors are no different. Explain that you want you loved one to be safe, and to feel safe, and you are afraid that you can’t always be there to help them.
2. Keep it low-tech
Medical alert devices are easy to use and work “right out of the box.” And if they prefer the phone staff will help them with set up every step of the way. Even though the medical alerts contain powerful technology, they are extremely easy to set up and remarkably simple to use.
