What families pay for the alternatives.
Each does something different. A monitored pendant gets your parent a person on the line in an emergency, which Vitals Home doesn't. We don't run a call center: that's why we cost less, and why you should keep a pendant if your parent wears one.

Not an emergency service. Keep the pendant.
Vitals Home texts family. It doesn't contact 911 or a call center. In an emergency, call 911. It can miss a fall, and it can send alerts when nothing is wrong.
