Does Medicare cover any of this if so I would like to see if could get me one I live alone and I'm close to 68 years old I hope I'm not to young for medical alert system

[@asksafewise]

Great question! From what I found, sounds like Medicare won't cover a whole system but it can help with the cost of equipment. Here's the resource I found: www.humana.com/medicare/medicare-resources/does-medicare-cover-medical-alert-systems

[@paulraymond139]

Thanks for the informative video. A few suggestions: It would have been more meaningful to talk less, organize all the criteria into a single grid. Then, do hard tests of the different systems based on fall, being out of the house, being at a base station, multiple people testing the voice activated commands to see who could actually activate it, trying it houses vs apartments, etc. I understnad you likely have to nudge the audience to buy; there's a commercial component to this production work. Sure. But the video fails to assemble the criteria into a single grid allowing for easier evaluation. And easier purchasing.

Thanks for the feedback, Paul! We do a lot of those deeper dives in our reviews on site. I'm a one-person team, so it's tough to get stuff out on time while being thorough. If you're interested, here are a few of our medical alert pages with more info. Great suggestions!

Frustrating. Everyone is not rich, but everyone can grow old. The monthly fees are the "gotcha" that I cannot afford. IMO, the "fall detection" doesn't have to go to a call center. Why don't they make one that calls a family members cell phone, to eliminate the monthly fees?

[@asksafewise]

There are a few options like that out there through apps and devices like the Apple Watch but even those still cost money.
If you're curious about some more affordable options, here are our favorites

@@asksafewise Thanks for your response. I was not expecting any. However, we are not connecting to my frustration. The unaffordable expense is not the initial cost of the device, it's, the monthly fee of anywhere from $30 to $50 a mouth, ($30 X 12 mouths = $360 per year) X years just for the "fall detection" feature. If an elderly person falls, hits their head that could make them pass out, then they can't physically push an alert button. That's the problem. That's why a "fall detection" is needed. But it seems this industry has made it mandatory for this "fall detection" function, you MUST pay a monthly fee! IMHO, I cannot see good reason, (except for making the public pay a monthly fee) that a "fall detection" could not contact an alert in a homes Wi-Fi. I am calling BS on this. Fall detection could and should be a function without a fee by using an in-home Wi-Fi. That's my beef.
