lives with me in Western PA. She has a cell phone and is quite the texting grandmother. However she has a defibrillator and if she has the need for emergency care in the middle of the night I don't want her scrambling for her (small) cell phone, I want her to grab that landline, which immediately tells 911 where she is & they can send help immediately.
