My Mom is in a Sr Living apartment. She has a fall alert necklace, and a Land Line is required for this service. Can this cost be covered?

The Land Line is $50 a month to AT&T. Is anyone aware if there grants or programs that help seniors pay this cost? Thank you!

Just for a phone line should not cost $50 a month. Are you sure there are services included she doesn't need?

Is this a service thru ATT? If so, the cost for a landline and the alert necklace would run about $50. My Mom already had the landline but her alert pendant cost about $40 a month.

Can you chop around for other land line providers or fall alert providers?

I keep my land line and it only costs me $30 CAD per month.

When I was researching Fall Alert devices, there were GPS and WIFI options available.

Is AT&T the only available provider?

$50 seems like a lot.

Contact the local area on aging to find out if there are any programs available in your area.
