A medical alert system is a device that connects you to emergency response services. If an accident happens, you push the emergency call button for help. A specialist from a certified monitoring center will check in on your well-being. If needed, they'll send emergency services to wherever you are.
Why Should I Get One?
Medical alert systems are powerful because they will save your life in the critical moments following an emergency. With a medical alert, you won’t have to look for your phone or remember any numbers to get help. When accidents happen, you don’t want to waste time. Seconds make all the difference. Time is precious in emergencies.
Medical alert systems are perfect to keep you safe at home. You won’t have to move into a nursing home if you are worried about falls, especially if you can manage your daily routine by yourself. With a medical alert system, aging in place will be comfortable.
Medical alert systems aren’t just for seniors. They are perfect for people with physical disabilities or anyone prone to accidents. After all, safety is for everybody.
Which Alert System Works Best?
Your lifestyle will determine which system is best for you. You need to consider what features are most important to you.
If you spend the majority of your time indoors, a home alert system works best.
This system has two parts: a base unit and alert pendant. When you wear your alert pendant, help is always right there with you. An alert pendant has an emergency call button for requesting help. The base unit will connect you to a certified operator.
The base unit has a range of 600 feet to protect you throughout both your home and yard. With a home alert system, you can rest easy in and around your home.
If you spend most of your time outdoors, you’ll love our mobile systems.
Mobile alerts are just like in-home devices, but you can take them anywhere. Our mobile medical alert systems are equipped with advanced GPS technology. That way, you can get help wherever you are. Whether you’re on a walk or hike, you can trust our GPS technology to find you if an accident occurs.
