I got one for my Dad about a year ago, still have it. Cost is $30 a month and nothing else. They ship it to you no cost. You set it up, very easy and give them a call. Simple all the way. You keep the box because you must return the unit when you no longer need it or they will continue to charge the $30 per month or you can tell them you lost the box and they will send another box for a fee. I have Dad test it about every other month. They answer promptly and they all speak english, a huge plus for him and I. Very friendly and willing to help anyway they can. I can"t say enough good about them, I"m impressed. I found them online just as you did, but I did a few hours of research looking for feedback. These folks had super feedback so I ordered it online. It arrived UPS in about 4 days. Monthy fee does not start until you call them to set it up.
You can set it up to call who you want in whatever order you want. In my case, it calls me first but since I"m 4 or 5 miles away it also calls a nearby neighbor who has a key. If no answers then it will call 911, again you set it up how you want. Dad did not want 911 called unless I could arrive to make decisions for him. The little fob can be made into a watch thing for the arm or on a string around the neck. He wears it on his wrist. It"s waterproof so they have it with them in the bath, another huge plus since that is where a lot of the elderly fall.
This one came from Life Station in Sheepshead Bay NY. Phone number is 1-877-833-2020. Web is www.LifeStation.com This info I"m reading off the box that I kept here so I didn"t disapear at his house!
Again, I got this about a year ago so the prices may be different now...not sure. I had him test it about 3 weeks ago while I listened. The unit is at least 30 feet away from his lift chair and they hear him fine and he can hear them great (it"s very loud if you ask them to make it that way) and since he"s hard of hearing it"s great.
Good luck which ever way you go. I can tell you it sure gives peace of mind for the parent and child. Remember, don"t ever consider it a babysitter. If they go completly out they can"t push the button so you must continue to check on them regularly! My reason for purchase, he fell and fractured his pelvis in 2 places and was unable to get up. He managed to scoot on the floor and found his cell phone (he couldn"t reach the land line phone) and he called me. This was about 3 AM. I went over and got him up and called for an ambulance. 2 month stay in a nursing home and he"s been home by himself since with the added security of his button, my visits and a few visits from neighbors now and then. BTW, he"s 89 and has many problems including bladder cancer BUT he"s home where he is happy which makes me happy!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
