Life Alert

[lynne b]

I am sure everyone has seen the commercial on TV but has anyone here ever used it for thenselves or a family member? I just talked to a guy on the phone about it and it sounds like a pretty good thing. As some of you know I have been worried about my mom's health and her living alone and so far away from me ,though we will be moveing her closer to family (my daughter) and closer to me than she was. It cost $298.00 for the monitor which is a one time fee includes lifetime batteries a cell phone connected to them, she can take the monitor with her if she is staying out of town all she has to do is call them with the address where she will be staying and phone# , a smoke detector that is monitored by them ,they will call her personally if the detector sends them a signal, also detects if there is an intruder in the house. oh my there's more also besides the health things that they cover. for everything it will cost $59.99 a month plus the one time $300.00 monitor charge and can be passed down to another family member if needed. does anyone have any experience with this company if so i would love to hear about them.
thank you lynne
