Participant Testimonials
"I really like the set up. It makes me feel more secure and more safe. I am used to it already. It is like nothing is even there and I just go about my day. I feel like I am in a really safe environment. I really love it and hope to afford it when time is up. I think this technology really is good to help elders stay in their homes longer because no one wants to leave their home."
