This is great info. I gave my mom my daughter’s old Apple Watch for the fall detection and the ability to make an emergency call if needed.

That was a really thoughtful thing to do. Falling is definitely a more significant problem as we get older.

Thanks yes it was kind of a "hack" as my kids would call it. My mom had back surgery back in May and since she lives alone my brother and I were concerned about falling. We looked into the life alert systems and they were so expensive! We figured this could work. She hasn't tested it thankfully!
