Alert1 members prioritize three features and experiences in their medical alert systems: they don’t like hidden costs, they don’t like long-term contracts, and they can’t stand bad customer service. Alert1 has distinguished itself in all three categories – through a Thayer Certification, a generous refund policy, and a TMA 5 Diamond Certification.

Cost is among the most important factors when it comes to deciding between medical alert pendants. While ADT® pendants are more affordable than other providers, the basic package is still more expensive than Alert1 offerings. This is an important consideration for our members, many of whom live on fixed incomes and stick to strict budgets.

ADT® pendants are also waterproof and guarantee professional monitoring and a fast emergency response time. Alert1 offers those services, too, but at a fraction of the price.  

Alert1 designs medical alert pendants with a range of senior lifestyle in mind. Whether you’re happy as a homebody or prefer to spend your days walking around the nearby park, we have a medical alert system to suit your needs. All of our devices are fairly priced, and we have a range of flexible payment options. We want you to have the service you need at a price you can afford.

We know that medical alert systems are often preemptive purchase. In the simplest terms, you won’t know the true value of your pendant until you experience an accident. That said, we want users to access the best service at the fairest prices available. Considering an ADT® pendant? Choose Alert1 instead.
