Well, that was quick. My quest for fall detector information yielded some nice results. An excellent source to find out more on fall prevention is stopfalls.org, which is the official website for the Fall Prevention Center of Excellence. One product that I've come across is the Lifeline 400 home unit. Similar to the SilverCare system, this product provides 911 support and alert capabilities. However, the Lifeline 400 has a lot more to offer. Through the use of one hard wired and 12 radio sensor inputs, this product can monitor carbon monoxide, falls, floods, temperature, and smoke. In can also provide 24 hour inactivity and intruder monitoring. When the Lifeline is activated, the 24 hour response center receives the information and can detect what caused the call. The product has a sensitive microphone and very loud speakers, allowing for hands free two- speech with the operator and the product user.
This product is one that seems like it would be extremely useful for anyone, not just senior citizens. The fact that it is a such a dynamic, multi-faceted tool that has so many capabilities makes it seem like it would be a valuable addition if you're seeking to make your home as safe as possible.
stopfalls.org also provides extensive resources for individuals and families seeking to lessen the risk of falls.
