Medical Alert Devices For Seniors Can Be Your Lifesaver: Live Alone Seniors Make Sure You Get The Right One
Being seniors, we find that medical concerns generally become more of an issue as we get older. For seniors living by themselves, the problem is even more critical. If emergency help is needed, it’s needed fast. Seniors living by themselves should have the extra protection that’s available.
Are all senior emergency alert systems the same? No, not at all. There are many systems out there that offer a ridiculous low price. If you go by price alone, you can be making a serious mistake. You really don’t want to bet your life on a bargain basement unit that may not deliver when you need it.
On the other side of the coin, there are alarm systems that, while giving adequate protection, are simply overpriced. There is no need to pay a premium price when you don’t have to. What you want, is a system that provides the protection you need, at a fair and reasonable price. So, what should you look for when searching for the right medical alarm device?
First of all, you should get a system that is easy to use. No need to struggle to reach the phone- just press the button for help within seconds. The help button can be worn as a pendant, wristband, or clipped to your belt. It’s also waterproof, so you can even use it in the shower.
What happens after you press the medical alert button? If you have chosen the right system, you are immediately connected with a trained professional who can provide the assistance you need. That professional is located in a company operated nation wide monitoring center. Most companies outsource this vital function. You want access to qualified professionals, 24 hours of every day.
The staff that answers your call should be well trained to help you in any emergency. You can be certain that the company which operates it’s own monitoring center, provides complete training for everyone and monitors calls, in order to maintain high standards of service.
What about the system? How hard is it to set up? Your whole system can be set up and ready to use within five minutes. Nothing complicated about it at all. If you do have any questions though, technical assistance is available at any time. Also, there is no charge if your unit would ever need repair or replacement.
Make sure you are not tied into any long-term commitments for your senior emergency alarm service. Some companies will charge an up-front fee and you may find yourself locked into a 3 to 12 month agreement that cannot be broken, regardless of circumstances. Some companies can be deliberately vague about clearly explaining agreements and cancellation policies.
Look for a company that has an initial 30 day guarantee and a no penalty cancellation policy. That way, you can try the system and make sure it’s the right one for you. If, for any reason it isn’t, you haven’t lost anything.
Don’t wait any longer. Check into a good personal response service now, for the peace of mind you deserve.
About the Author
Donald J. Johnson is a senior with interests in topics that affect and are of value to other seniors. Today, over 6 million seniors live alone. Many by choice, but some through other circumstances over which they have little or no control. Regardless, as seniors, we face increasing challenges as we get older. One of these challenges is being able to receive prompt assistance if we need it. Sometimes a neighbor or relative may be able to provide that assistance. But, you would normally have to be able to reach a phone in order to contact them. What if you can’t reach that phone? Or, what if they aren’t there to answer your call? In an emergency situation, why take the chance? Why not use a proven, affordable way to get the help you need , through a company you can trust? See http://seniorzing.com/alert for more information on medical alarm systems. Remember, you are under no obligation at all and you automatically have a 30 day trial period to start with. Nothing to hold you back. Why not try it?

Guardian Alert 911 - Life Saving Alert with no monthly fees $250 Talk Directly through your pendant to a 911 emergency operator at the push of a button. The Guardian Alert 911 system is a set - a base station which plugs into the phone jack - and a pendant which is worn by the user. The system can operate anywhere in and around the home - with the base station pluged into a phone jack in the central part of the home. The Pendant runs a year on a AAA alkaline battery (included).

Hold the Test Button in an extra few seconds - and you can confirm that the full system is working. Why did you create Guardian Alert 911? We created this product because of the great need of loved ones or a disabled person to be able to instantly contact a 911 operator in the event of an emergency. These individuals want to lead more independent and safer lives. Countless accidents and deaths occur every year that could have been prevented if 911 was able to be reached quickly. How does Guardian Alert 911work? It is very simple. You just push the blue button on the wearable pendant and you can speak directly to a 911 operator from anywhere in or around the home. You do not need to use your regular telephone. Does Guardian Alert 911 use Cellular Service? No! The Guardian Alert 911 uses your home phone line. Do you have to be near a base station for 911 to hear you? No! Because the Guardian Alert 911 is the world’s smallest cordless speakerphone, you can speak directly to an operator instantly from anywhere in or around the home. This is the only product that allows you to speak from ANYWHERE in your home, not just within 50 feet of a speakerphone. The pendant range is up to 600 feet in a free-space environment! It will cover large homes and even a short distance outside your home. Are there any monthly charges or contracts? Absolutely Not! There are no monthly charges, no monitoring fees, no contracts, ever. You purchase the Guardian Alert 911 and it is yours to keep and use forever. What happens if I am unable to speak? If you are unable to speak, the Guardian Alert 911 can still give the 911 operator your location by utilizing the caller ID function. Because of this “enhanced 911” system, you can feel even safer that your location is known even before you speak. How do I install Guardian Alert 911? Just plug it into your existing phone jack. Is Guardian Alert 911 legal to use? Yes! The Guardian Alert 911 is completely legal to use in all 50 states and Canada. Does Guardian Alert 911 use a battery? Yes, the Guardian Alert 911 uses an AAA alkaline battery, which is included. The battery life is one-year and it can be tested at any time with the test button on the unit. How can I deal with power outages? You can purchase our optional Battery Back-up unit (#30912) which will provide over 24 hours of back-up protection.&nbs |
