Why Margaret Uses Solo Alert — “It lets me live my life on my terms”

When 72-year-old Margaret downsized to a cosy apartment by the coast, her friends and family worried about her living alone. Margaret didn’t.

“I’ve always been independent,” she says with a smile. “I love my space, my walks, my crosswords, and my music. But I also know things can happen — a fall, a faint, anything really. I didn’t want one of those bulky necklaces that I’d forget to charge. I wanted something simple that lets me stay me. I use my phone every day, so Solo Alert made sense.”

Twice a day, her phone gently reminds her to tap “I’m okay.” And if she misses a check-in, it’s only then that her safety circle hears from us.

“No one’s checking in on me. No one’s tracking me. It’s just a quiet little safety net that gives me and my kids peace of mind,” she explains. “They live interstate, and I don’t want them worrying all the time. This way, they know I’m okay — and I know help would come quickly if I wasn’t.”

Margaret says Solo Alert has become part of her daily rhythm, “like brushing my teeth or making a cuppa.”

“It’s not about losing independence,” she says. “It’s about keeping it. I can live how I want to — just with a little extra backup.”
