I got a call from my cousin right after Christmas. He was sad to inform me that his mother had died right before Christmas. He had seen her the night before and her furnace had quit working. He wanted her to come stay with him that night but she insisted she would be fine to stay at home. The next morning he had tried to call her all morning and couldn't reach her. He had figured she had gone out shopping. Finally he went over and found her sitting on her couch dead. She had been dead from a heart attack for 3-4 hours.
The same thing almost happened to me with my mom. She was having a heart attack and fortunately we had gotten her a Direct Link emergency button. She pushed it and they dispatched paramedics. She did die from the attack but was able to survive for another two weeks. Those two weeks extra that I had with her was well worth whatever the cost was for the emergency button.
Any senior who lives alone must have a Direct Link button. My mother and aunt both seemed healthy and were very active. If you have a loved one who lives alone, call us to inquire about Direct Link. Take it from someone who has experienced it first hand, it is well worth it. 208-769-9560
