There is something that happens when you realize that your parents are aging, and you have to step in to help take care of them. The paradigm shift from being a child to being more of a caretaker is sometimes a difficult one, and working through the process can be tricky.
I recently have had this experience, when my Dad fell while working in the yard. He was unable to get up and since then we have had to make some changes in his lifestyle to prevent a scenario like this happening again. While he’s getting physical and occupational therapy to help him with his balance, for the time being he’s always at risk of falling. So it was perfect timing when I had the chance to team up with Bay Alarm Medical and their Medical Alert Systems.
Bay Alarm Medical has spent the last 70 years protecting what matters most – our loved ones. Their Medical Alert Systems allow loved ones to still have their independence, but with the peace of mind knowing that should anything happen, help can be on the way with just the touch of a button.
Even if your parents are still active and healthy – as my Dad was before his fall – there is still comfort in knowing that they are covered in the event of an emergency. That makes it easier for you to live your life with one less worry.
Bay Alarm Medical Systems are simple to set up and simple to use. They offer several different models so you can choose which works best for your family and their needs. Although I still worry about my Dad, of course, knowing that he can get the help he needs with just the touch of a button has alleviated so much of my stress and worry about his safety.
If the time has come for you to start taking care of your parents or grandparents – the way they have always taken care of you – consider adding a Bay Alarm Medical to their home.
It will not only give you added peace of mind, but your parents will feel more secure as well.
Getting older is tough for everyone, but knowing that medical care can be on call for you any time helps make getting older just a little bit easier, so you can spend more time enjoying your time together, and less time worrying about your time apart.

My brother who is not elderly, but is a really bad diabetic has one because two years ago he had a diabetic seizure. Thank God he lives in an apartment and the neighbor below him heard him fall and came up to check, he didn’t answer so she called 911. Ever since then he got something like this, his even has an alarm in his room if he falls on the floor. These products can save family members life’s.
