I live in an assisted living apartment in Richmond Village but have fallen a couple of times in the small hallway. All I need to do is press my alarm call button and staff soon arrive with the Camel lifting cushion to get me quickly back on my feet. It feels comfortable, secure and safe. I thoroughly approve!
