However, you may need more information before getting a medical alert. It's okay if you're not familiar with our service. Alert1 is here to answer all your top questions on senior help buttons.
How Does a Senior Help Button Work?
If you have an emergency, press the senior help button on your medical alert necklace or wristband. You will quickly be connected to theAlert1 Command Center. A trustworthy operator will come on the line to ask if you need help.
You will be able to tell them exactly what you need with 2-way voice communication. We will use your personalized list of responders in your Circle of Care to send you help. You don’t need to recall phone numbers in an emergency. We will stay on the line until help arrives so that you are never without someone by your side.
We know that it can be difficult to talk in a medical emergency. You will get help even if you are unable to speak. If we cannot hear you, we will first call you to see if you’re okay, and then we will start calling your Circle of Care. We follow the procedures you set up so that you always get help quickly when you press your senior help button.
For those who are prone to dangerous falls, our fall detection medical alert can detect falls in the home and will automatically connect to the Command Center - even if you can’t press the senior help button.
