Alert1 Accessory: Fall Detection Pendant

How does fall detection technology work?

The pendant includes state of the art motion sensors. These sensors can tell when you are simply moving around, or if you have taken a fall. Once it senses a fall, it will place an automatic call for help, whether you press the button or not. This will guarantee that help will reach you, even if you are not capable of asking for assistance. Our caring operators are trained to assess the situation and follow the proper protocol. 

After a call for help is placed, we follow a set of procedures that will ensure a quick response. We will contact the people in your circle of care in the order you have specified. We will also make sure that if medical care is needed, 911 is dispatched as soon as possible.

Why do I need fall detection?

Even though 1 in 3 older adults fall every year, you can keep yourself and your loved ones safe. No one can predict when a fall will occur. Wearing your fall detection pendant around your home and yard will ensure you get the specific emergency response you need.

Can I wear it in the shower?

According to the CDC, the bathroom is an especially dangerous room for fall-prone seniors. That's why we have made the pendant showerproof. It is important to have easy access to help wherever you are- in the shower, washing the dog, watering your garden.

The fast call for help will let medical professionals help you sooner. Quick response time lowers hospitalization rates and minimizes the recovery time, especially for older adults. 

What system is compatible with the Fall Detection Pendant?

This product is intended to be an additional button for the Fall Detection medical alert system. If you have already signed up for the fall detection monitoring and still need an extra button – you’ve come to the right place! If you do not yet have the fall detection monitoring – please see the Fall Detection medical alert system page.

The fall detection pendant also works with or without a landline. Make sure to give our friendly Support Team a call to get a customized offer that meets your needs.
