When did you take your parents out for a treat the last time?

I hope you remember…. Can’t? Why?

Let me guess, you are busy working on weekdays, and when you got home you are too tired to talk anything, and on weekends you wanna go out on dates, right?

Worst, if you are married and your parents are staying by themselves, you have to be with the kids, do house cleaning. (Ok, I’m not trying to make you feel bad, I do have that occasional guilty too)

I guess that’s why many people wanted to have a home based business because they want to have the luxury of time. But trust me, you couldn’t be busier than where you are now at the beginning!

Do you feel guilty even at wondering about your parent or grandparent who lives alone or alone when you are away at work?

What if they fall with no one around to help?
What if they get too weak to get up to reach for the phone or push any buttons?
What about if your parent or grandparent is on the road outdoors and they suddenly need immediate help and no one knows where they are?
Or if they do not know where they are?

I think we need to hire a maid to look after them right? But.. it also gets back to the questions, what if the maid is not trustable?

But there are better ways! And one we use now. There are medical alert companies that take care of the lunatic risk for you.

Here’s a fantastic thing called FALL ALERT detector that alerts emergency personnel if that someone have fallen and cant even push a button.

And another – GPS Tracking Bracelet with 2-way speakerphone so they can use it like a cell phone and call for help, or the wearer can be found in cases of wandering due to Alzheimers.

Finally a safe way to put your mind at peace when you are away from your parents or old grandparents!

Now, medical alert is not a good one excuse for not spending time together though!
