A lot of people get LifeLock, and for some it’s free. But some people pay a monthly fee, and the problem with that is you wear it around your neck and when you go to sleep you take it off and put it on the nightstand.
If you get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, that LifeLock is usually is still on the nightstand, and that’s when people fall in the bathroom.
Instead, consider the Echo Dot, a hands-free smart speaker with a compact design.
Echo Dots come in various sizes and prices and can be purchased at Amazon.com, but for safety purposes, the Echo Dot is more than sufficient.
It is easy to set it up. You can input emergency contacts, so if you fall from anywhere in your house, you can just scream out, “Alexa, call 911.” The Echo Dot will call 911 and your emergency contacts.
I have one, and I love it because you can have it start a grocery list, play music, tell you the time or weather, set a timer, and even play trivia all for one time cost with no monthly fee. Amazon often has them on sale.
The Echo Dot will only call 911 if you have a landline, but it will call all your emergency numbers, even if you don’t.

It has been stated by many residents that we are not in favor of extending hours for the North Gate. This challenges the “security” aspect, especially those of us located at the perimeter wall. Firstly, this wall was not built higher, as the other perimeter walls are, and now having to worry about additional noise and access causes a bigger fear for us, as well as affects the quality of sleep. Many go to bed earlier rather than later.
