I did not want my father to live alone after my mother died, so I brought him to my home to be with us. After some time, he got himself some male friends of his age that he met regularly in a park.
Being more than 70 years old and still liking the outdoors, he should be bringing a non lethal defense tool to protect him. A personal alarm for elderly men was best for him.
As the frequency of these elderly seeing each other grew each month, I finally bought my father a personal alarm for elderly individuals that he can bring to these meetings.
There are many types of non lethal defense tools that I would want my Dad to have. It is a necessity since young people like to pounce on vulnerable old men. Some even become pitiful victims of mugging.
I have chosen the Screecher Aerosol Alarm for Dad. It produces 30 blasts of ear-piercing alarms that can be heard for a far distance. Once triggered, the sound is a signal that help is needed urgently. He can put it in his pocket and it would not be a hassle at all.
Another option is the AL-2 that can be both a burglar and personal alarm. Its 120 dB sound is triggered by tugging at a metal chain. This can also be a home alarm system that can be hung in a doorknob. When the knob is jiggled, a loud sound goes off.
One other personal alarm for elderly persons is the Electronic Pocket/Keychain Whistle. Just pushing a button produces a penetrating 120db whistle to alert others for help. It can function also as a locator in emergency situations, for sporting events, for military training and in manning traffic situations.
I sensed that my dad’s four senior friends will all need the personal alarm for elderly people. So, I surprised each of them by giving them each a personal alarm to protect themselves.
