Home sensors for seniors?

I'm looking for information on remotely monitoring my MIL. She is in her 80s and lives alone 350 miles from us. She is in very good health, but we're afraid she might fall or something and nobody will know while she suffers. We do have a neighbor who watches that she brings in her paper every day, but that isn't especially timely and sometimes they travel.

We saw an ad for a thing that has sensors around the house - like if you open the fridge door or something - and then you check it out with an app on your remote smart phone. It's called Silver Mother - here is a link.

Anyone know anything about this or something similar?

    Did you notice?

    My Mom's (can't remember the name of the gadget) wouldn't work as advertised.

    We finally ended up with a phone that she carried in a case around her neck. So she could call 911 herself or talk with friends.

    Everybody's different and some things are a hard decisions. We found the phone option best for our situation. Yes, (painfully slow) learning curve if she hasn't been exposed to a med app or receiving medical report as text message.

    But hay, thanks for thinking about MOM. You only get one.
