Once again I am turning to the persons whose opinions and experience matter the most to me: LM Net. You've helped me so much in my professional and personal life over the past 15 years. Here I am again asking for advice. My mother is 88, has fallen two times, and refuses to leave her home. I have one year left to retirement and am trying to figure a solution that will allow me to continue in my job and help my mother. Two products that come to mind are some medical alert bracelet/necklace system and a stair lift. I have searched the Internet but am confused as to the best products for my mother's needs. I am sure some of you have gone through the situation I am facing. 1. Does anyone have experience with Stannah Stair Lifts or any other stair lift? 2. I have found three Medical Alert Services: Walgreens at $34.95, Medical Guardian at $29.95; and Life Fone at $29.99. Does anyone know about these companies or any other Medical Alert company from personal experience? I apologize to those of you who are offended by my use of our Listserv in such a personal manner, but I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and really would appreciate some advice from those I trust. I will, of course, keep your opinions confidential. Ada G.
