The goal of retiring and moving to sunny Florida, especially West Palm Beach, is almost common enough to be considered part of the American dream — one that’s alive and well as millions of baby boomers reach retirement age.
Florida has one of the nation’s highest populations of senior citizens, with more than a million Florida residents, or roughly one in 20, over the age of 80. In addition, the number of people in Florida older than 65 is expected to double to 10 million by 2030.
Many of the older residents of West Palm Beach moved here from other states and may be living hundreds of miles away from their adult children, family and other traditional support systems that protect people in emergency situations.
As a result, many senior citizens in West Palm Beach are turning to medical alert systems to help during emergencies. Whether you take a bad fall or are dealing with something even more serious, these systems can send you immediate medical assistance with the push of a button.
When choosing a medical alert system that best suits your lifestyle, it’s worth asking the following questions:
Thanks to advances in technology, medical alert systems are becoming smaller and more effective with the incorporation of smartwatches and other innovations that can go as far as providing GPS coordinates to first responders in case of emergency.
Each plan varies in terms of benefits and costs, so it’s worth shopping around and educating yourself. It’s also worth noting that these medical alert systems aren’t just for seniors. People of any age who are living with health issues or disabilities can enjoy more freedom and independence by having a medical alert system on hand.
