    How To Convince Your Parents To Get A Medical Alert System

    When your parents are elderly or have critical medical conditions, it’s natural for you to worry about them. Because you realize how serious the issue is, you want them to prepare in case of an emergency. If your parents fall or get sick while they’re home alone, what are they going to do? A medical alert system provides 24 hour monitoring for customers.

    When your parents need help, they simply push a button and the ambulance or police are dispatched. The button is worn around the neck or wrist, so it’s always close. If you keep pushing your parents to get an emergency alert system and they keep refusing. Try these tactics to change their minds.

    Go for the heartstrings. The last thing parents want is for their kids to worry about them. Sit with your mom and dad and have a heart-to-heat about how you feel. Let them know that you are genuinely concerned about their well-being and it’s difficult for you to go about your day if you’re worried. During the conversation, don’t use a pushy or demanding tone. If you speak kindly from the heart, your parents will feel it.

    Focus on independence. The thought of losing an independent way of life is scary for many elderly individuals. Instead of focusing on your parents’ age and health, talk about the confidence they will gain by knowing help is just a reach away. Mention that if they have a medical alert system, they can live on their own longer. Your parents don’t want to feel helpless and they don’t want every conversation to revolve around their age and health.

    Go for a trial run. Your parents’ resistance might stem from them thinking the alert system is too invasive. They may also fear the system is too complicated for them to manage. If you can get mom and dad to try it out for a month, they will see that there are no peeping Toms watching their every move. Once they are comfortable with using the system, they will likely keep it.

    When parents age and suffer with health problems, they fight to keep their independence. An alert system can give them the ability to live on their own while keeping help nearby. The above suggestions will assist you in convincing your parents of the value of an emergency alert system.
