I gave keys to different friends, and if they can’t get ahold of me for 3 or more days, they will come over and make sure I’m ok. If I wanted to, I could move into long term care or senior care ( even though I’m not an elder or a senior); but I enjoy my freedom of being able to do whatever I want when I want. I don’t have to eat when they bring food, I can come and go as I please, I don’t have to sign out when I leave or have someone come with me and I have to wait until they can come with me and all that stuff. I enjoy my privacy too much. So I prefer knowing that friends will come over and check on me, or my family will have the police come do a welfare check.

Ask your Dr for a device in case you fall .. it will call 911 for you .. even if you don't respond 911 will show up you have to have a way for them to come in ..m

I have a Caregiver who comes 3 days a week in the morning. They see I took my medications ( I have a alarm on my watch). I cannot cook, so they prepare meals, help keep the place organized and somewhat clean. I asked my Neurologist about Emegency Medications. She said I do not need them. Where I live is Elderly Housing, and they have no Medical Training here. There is no Liability Insurance here, so they just call 911. Normally I am in the apartment by myself.
