How to talk to your loved ones about getting a PERS

 

Needing a personal emergency response system can be a tough topic to broach with a loved one. It is hard for some to admit they need assistance and are worried about what that means to them. Here are some helpful tips on how to talk to a loved one about getting a PERS.

1. Even people who don't live alone can use a PERS from Custom Alarm. Accidents happen when you least expect and can happen when the other person living there is at the store.

2. A PERS is easy to use, discrete and won't change their lifestyle. The devices come in two formats, wrist band and neck pendant.

3. A PERS gives peace of mind to everyone involved. Let your loved ones know it is going to help you feel better knowing they can call for help if needed.

4. A PERS is a great way to stay independent when the alternative may be a nursing home or assisted living facility.

5. Talk to their doctor and get their support. Your loved one may listen to the doctor and based on their circumstances their doctor or nurse will likely be on board with this type of a system.
