Can my cyberbuddies help with this one!!!????

I have an elderly person who lives alone..in good health-but occasionally falls....I would like to equip her with a device that can telephone emrgency help automatically if she falls and cant reach a telephone.

I know there is a device called "Lifeline" which the wearer has around the neck which is pushbutton activated in case of emergency.

Can anyone link me to sites having such devices-or information on such devices..

Has anyone had experience with these devices?

thanx......

I did a medical alert search on google and this is just one of the sites that came up that looked good. http://www.advmon.com/
