Both the elderly and those caring for aging parents and other loved ones want to know that immediate help is available in case of an emergency. Typically technology-based, these systems vary in cost, application, and process, from “personal response” systems (which enable the person in need to contact help) to home-monitoring through video technology. In other circumstances, some support groups offer emergency support in extenuating situations for brief periods.
