I discovered the other day that I am in the "older segment" of Heartland owners (76), and since I lost DW a couple of years ago, Dolly my cocker spaniel and I pretty much travel alone. I have been kind of concerned about how we would handle some sort of emergency. Say, we check into a park for a week and I have a stroke/heart attack that night. More than likely, no one would notice or investigate the lack of activity and Dolly would be without food or water for days until the park management came by to see why we hadn't left. This isn't a pleasant subject, but one that many of us should probably think about and address.
I have been thinking about getting one of those medical alert transmitters you wear around your neck, and have kind of zeroed in on this one: https://www.medicalcarealert.com/All...ion-s/1863.htm The way I understand this, it is good anywhere in the US where there is AT&T wireless coverage. They give you a lock box to keep a key in, that could be mounted by your RV door and they will give the combination to EMS when they send them out. It looks like the cost of an annual plan with fall detection is about $1.50 per day plus tax, Im sure. Is anyone using something like this, or do you know of something better?
