We manage an apartment complex for adults with physical disabilities. We ordered the unit for a tenant who has required emergency assistance and been unable to call staff. I waited to provide feedback so we could "try it out" and see how it works. After a month or so, we are very pleased to report that we like the system. It is easy to use, very reasonably priced and doesn't require a monthly fee or ongoing support, which is critical for our clients on a limited income. We have advised our peers of our satisfaction with the product and will send them the product information so they can see it for themselves. We will happily provide a testimonial. Thank you and good luck! -Colleen
