August is Medic Alert Awareness Month. Medic Alert is a quick, easy way for healthcare professionals to identify the medical needs of a person in the event of an emergency. Seniors are encouraged to wear a medic alert badge at all times in the event of an emergency, such as falling while they are alone, because seniors can fall during even the most routine tasks.

While enrolling in the Medic Alert system is a smart step to ensure protection of your senior loved ones, we also encourage you to watch the following video to learn new ways for seniors to stand themselves up from a fall.
