I was sent charging in by a panicked niece calling from interstate late one recent evening because the old dear wasn’t answering her phones (mobile flat, hearing aids taken out for the evening). If they’d been able to know remotely she had a normal pulse, they’d have not worried so much.

mum also had 1 of those ....... useless re falling over. mum's also had a call function .. so if she did not answer the ph i rang the pendant. at least that worked!. and incase your wondering . . . .. she fell over whilst kneeling plus a few other times. other half reminded me that if they do fall over ..... don't move stay still!?.
