When choosing a fall detection device for a senior relative, look for models with automatic detection that don't require pressing a button, and consider whether it uses a pendant, watch, or wall sensor. Check battery life, range from home, and if it works outside or during a shower. Test the device yourself to see how quickly it alerts a caregiver, and make sure your relative understands how to test it weekly without fear of false alarms.
