Williamsport, PA (PRWEB) May 3, 2007 -- More than 3.3 million baby boomers are providing long-distance care for a parent as a result of an increased number of senior citizens ages 65 to 85 choosing to remain living in their home alone, according to a study from the National Council on Aging. Because women are living longer than men on average, women are more likely than men to live alone. Many senior women living alone are unwilling to give up their independence, even when faced with mobility or health difficulties such as arthritis. This Mother's Day give Mom peace-of-mind and the trusted security of a personal help button caregivers and millions of mature adult women living alone have relied on for years -- Alert One (http://www.alert-1.com).
"Giving Mom Alert One this Mother's Day may very well save her life," said Eric O'Connor, President of Alert One. "One click of a button -- worn comfortably around the neck, a wristband or mounted on the wall -- quickly contacts highly trained and professional operators from Alert One U.S. based medical alarm call centers. Our operators will dispatch an ambulance or simply call a nearby friend or relative. The Alert One button allows Mom to travel up to 600 feet from her medical alarm in any direction and it's 100% waterproof which means she can wear it in the shower or bath. She can even use her button to answer any incoming phone calls," O'Connor concluded.
An astounding 50% of women age 75+ live alone, according to new report titled "A Profile of Older Americans: 2006" composed by the Department of Health & Human Services. As of 2005, 38% of women 65+ lived alone, compared to only 19% of men the same age, the report states, and about half (51.6%) of persons 65+ lived in nine states. California had 3.9 million; Florida 3.0 million; New York 2.5 million; Texas 2.3 million; and Pennsylvania 1.9 million, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and New Jersey each had well over 1 million.
"It's an acknowledged fact -- millions of older women are living alone and Alert One medical alarm protection is no longer a luxury -- it has become a necessity to protect our mothers' health and safety as she maintains her highly desired independence. My own mother has a medical alarm in her home," O'Connor stated. "No other company makes it easier for your mother to have medical alarm service in her home. Alert One offers affordable pricing, no activation charges or unnecessary fees, discontinuation of service at any time, next day activation, and convenient online account management."
