Dear Friends
[at Home Technology Solutions],
When my social worker told
me that regardless of having
diabetes, high blood pressure,
and a history of falls, I thought
(how wrong I was) that the doctors,
pills, and checkups were all
I needed.
I am a female, 73 years old,
and I live alone. I have a wonderful
caring son and daughter-in-law
who live about 30 miles away.
I am friends with all of my
neighbors but I have always
been very reluctant to depend
on or burden anyone with my
problems. I manage as best as
I can.
It was quite a shock and surprise
when last week I suddenly found
myself shaking, light headed,
and dizzy. I made my way to
the living room using the walls
for support. I began to feel
very weak so I tried to make
it over to the couch to rest
awhile. I never made it. I tripped
on the rug I had in the middle
of the floor and fell to the
floor. I landed on my left leg
and I was in severe pain. I
couldn't get to my feet nor
could I crawl to the phone,
which was on the other side
of the room.
Luckily, for my sake I was wearing
the personal help button that
[HTS] gave me last week.
I pressed the button that I
wore around my neck and was
immediately calmer and my panic
was gone. In a few minutes,
paramedics were in my house
and soon after I was taken to
Wesley hospital.
Having the [HTS] system, that
I didn't want, saved my life!
Without it I might have gone
into shock and passed out and
it would have been hours later
that my neighbors or relatives
would realize that I wasn't
answering my phone and something
was wrong.
I would strongly recommend
[HTS] to everyone regardless
of thinking as I originally
did, that I did not need the
alarm button. I was wrong.
Thank you,
*Sally Smith (subscribers name
has been changed).

Dear
Staff
Around
1:30 AM on Saturday morning
the 15th of August
my mother Mary Ann slipped off
the bed and couldn’t get up.
It was the first time she has
had occasion to use her [HTS]
button and you responded immediately.
4 neighbors rushed to her aid.
I just want to personally thank
you on behalf of all my brothers
and myself for the peace of
mind that small button affords
us.
God
Bless each & everyone of
you for the service you provide
Janet
