Emergency call button for elders
« on: September 24, 2024, 09:51:02 AM »
Anybody have any recomendations.

There is currently no wifi in the house, but can connect via bluetooth to a phone. (we can get wifi if needed)

Looking at https://www.logicmark.com/product/aster-bluetooth-button/?srsltid=AfmBOopG47nHAd1eH-Y4Ka2PO-rYP9DFYh3YLPkQhz6mpOvrCAZ0bd3r

but I am totally lost here. And would rather go with something reccomended, vs. a sponsored google ad.

Anybody here ever got something for a parent/grandparent?

First hand experience?
Is that a service that finds call buttons- or is it a product?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I set up JResponder for a relative and tested it, seems to work well, but I don't know about response times or things like that. IIRC the answering service is frum

What area are you in? I am in the Baltimore area and work as an occupational therapist and have a vendor that I recommend that is pretty inexpensive at $20/month with no setup fees. I will find out if they ship as well.

I know Apple watch has a lot of emergency features but not sure that it's sufficient for this purpose

Indiana.
Thank you.
I confirmed with the owner that it's nationwide. They'll ship you a base and the pendant that gets worn. It's waterproof and can (and should!) be worn in the shower.

Sorry, didn't see your response until now.

It is a product, same as

I set up JResponder for a relative and tested it, seems to work well, but I don't know about response times or things like that. IIRC the answering service is frum

it was setup for a relative, but I wasn't involved, so I don't know all the details. It is based out of Lakewood area. I can get you contact info if you want.

Btw life hack for anyone that has access to their relative's lifeline/emergency button/fall detector device - add Hatzalah as an emergency contact.
