(ARA) - Living at home and remaining independent is important to both seniors and their loved ones. Injuries can mark the end of an independent lifestyle for seniors living alone. In fact, 1 out of every 3 people older than 65 will fall this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A fall can lead to serious complications.
Don't let fear of injury steal your freedom
A home medical alert system offers more than added safety and security; it gives seniors and their caregivers the freedom of independence as well as peace of mind.
ADT, a trusted company for home security systems, offers the ADT Companion Service Personal Emergency Response System. With this system, help is just a button push away. You can keep enjoying all the comforts of home and feel secure in the knowledge that if you fall or have an unexpected medical emergency, ADT will be there to help.
You'll wear a waterproof personal health button as either a wristband or pendant.

For Anne Larson of Crystal lake, Ill., the ADT system gave her and her siblings peace of mind for their mother, Marilynn. "Her life was saved twice this year with the Personal Emergency Response System," shares Larson. "She went into A-fib, a rapid heart palpitation and hit her help button. The person at the other end of the line had a soothing and calming voice. My Mom was frightened and the operator kept her relaxed until the paramedic arrived. It also came in handy when she fell recently."
