Medical Services

Thanks to Olga Quinn

My precious grandmother is getting up there in years. While she is still fully lucid, and definitely not in anyway incapable, she is getting a little slower and a little more likely to take a spill. We had a very scary situation a few months back when she was pulling weeds in the yard and took a tumble down her hill. She broke her ankle and rolled for a bit before a neighbor spotted her and luckily ran over to help. While she lives close enough that we can take a day trip to see her, she is still a couple hours away, so getting there in good time if there was an emergency would be difficult. We worry about her going up and down the stairs inside, where there would be no one to see her fall. This is where her adt Seattle alarm comes in. One of the new features offered is a two-way voice link with the alarm monitoring company that can call for help immediately if there is an emergency. It helps my mom and I sleep better at night, and it's definitely worth the couple of dollars a month we spend on it.
