Don't Depend Just on a Panic Pendant

SimplyHome has a panic pendant (sometimes called a "PERS" for Personal Emergency Response System), but here is the problem with JUST relying on a panic pendant:
  • 35% of all seniors fall in their homes every year.
  • 50% that have a PERS pendant wear it.
  • Of those wearing the PERS pendant, only 50% will use it in an emergency (making it only 25% effective).
