Compare Great Call Pendants Against Alert1 Products

Great Call pendants are a relatively new entry to the medical alert industry. The company, which focuses on senior-friendly cell phones and wearables, recently launched their Lively^TM Mobile Plus, the Great Call medical alert pendant.

As you can see, cost is a major difference between Alert1 and some of the other brands. This is an important consideration for most medical alert system users. Here, it could be the deciding factor. We’ll tell you why. 

Most folks who use medical alert pendants are older. In many cases, this means our members live on tight budgets and fixed incomes. If there are any places in a budget to trim excess spending, most seniors will find them. The easiest place to lower spending? Recurring monthly bills, like cable, Internet, and medical alert systems.

Now, we don’t want our members to compromise on their medical alert care just to pay a lower monthly cost. That’s why we offer all the services of Great Call pendants, but at a significantly lower cost. Get GPS technology, access to a call center, and fall detection – all for a more manageable, accessible price. We’ll always offer members the best-possible service at the fairest price we can manage.  

As a newer entrant to the medical alert industry, the Great Call pendant offers just one medical alert pendant – their LivelyTM Mobile Plus. By contrast, Alert1 has half a dozen options, each with a different senior lifestyle in mind.

Are you a homebody with a high risk of falls? We have a service for you.

Do you spend a lot of time running errands but want the protection of an on-the-go medical alert system? We have that, too.

Our offerings are designed for a variety of senior lifestyles. Medical alert systems are never a one-size-fits-all solution.

To that end, Alert1 has a highly rated monitoring center, which is kept to the highest industry standards. Pushing a medical alert button usually indicates some type of emergency or panic. Our operators are trained to help our users with compassion and understanding. Even if you push your button accidentally, Alert1 command center staff will help you laugh off the mistake. We will always provide incomparable service at an accessible price.
