1. A method, comprising steps of:
- receiving a call from a movable landline device in a central processing system, at a start-up of the moveable landline device;
responsive to receiving the call from the movable landline device in the central processing system, receiving coordinates of a wearable unit in radio communication with the moveable landline device, in a server included in the central processing system, the received coordinates being obtained from a global positioning system (GPS) of the wearable unit;
reverse-mapping the received coordinates into a current address of the moveable landline device; and
storing, by the server, the current address of the moveable landline device in association with an identifier of the moveable landline device, for subsequently determining location of the moveable landline device during processing of a further call for the moveable landline device.

Abstract
A server verifies that an address of record for a personal emergency response (PERS) device is in agreement with a current address of the PERS device. The PERS device has a docking station and a wearable unit. At start-up, the docking station places a call to the server and the server receives coordinates of the wearable unit. The coordinates are reverse-mapped into the current address and compared with the address of record. If the address and the address of record differ, the address of record is updated to reflect the current address.
