Close family friend had a stroke early in the morning and laid on floor until late evening when someone finally went to check on her, she reached the phone but no 911 back then and she had lost speech completely. She called our house a few times(no caller ID), man did we feel like shit when we found out. Those extra 8 to 10 hours alone cost her alot....
My MIL falls constantly and FIL refuses to get her a life alert... I tried to get her to keep/use cell with her all the time but she refused.
