iCaria - Aging with Dignity

Aging with dignity, who does not want that? Let me share a personal story...

Our mother loved her independence. But, with all of us residing and working in different cities with different responsibilities, it was hard for us to stay on top of her care.

Has anyone heard from mom?

“Has anyone heard from mom? I’m worried...” said, my sister. “I’ve been trying to reach her all day. She won’t answer my calls.”

An hour later, we managed to get to her building, knocked on the door but no answer. Finally, we called the fire department, and after breaking the door down, we found her, face down on the floor. She looked distraught and helpless. You see, the night before, mother fell while trying to go to the bathroom. She could not get up. As luck would have it, she did not have her First Alert necklace on, so she could not call for help. Her ordeal lasted many hours. We were told that if we had not come that day, she would not have made it.
