My dad had one of those life alert things. He had two ER runs where someone found him on the ground, wearing the necklace, button not pushed.

why wasn't it pushed? This is troubling for someone who thought those things were helpful.

The first time was dementia. He forgot he had it on. :( The second time he was unconscious. They have life alerts now with motion sensors that automatically call 911 when they detect a fall. We were looking into getting one when the state intervened.
