Dear Savvy Senior,
I’m interested in getting my mother, who lives alone, a medical alert device with a wearable SOS button that she can push in case she falls or needs help. What kinds of devices can you recommend and how much do they cost?

The sentiment begins, “One year older” (flip to the inside), “One year closer to looking more and more like Mom.” It’s not clear why he chooses this same card.
