of fall victims who don’t receive help within an hour won’t be able to live independently after recovery.
HOUR
A medical alert system lets seniors call for help with the push of a button.
Some systems feature automatic fall detection, which means seniors don’t need to push a help button.
When an accident happens, the emergency call center communicates with your loved one to see if they need help.
The call center contacts emergency responders and gives them your senior’s location. They can also relay medical history and medications to first responders.
Some medical alert systems include a GPS. These are great for active seniors and can report a senior’s exact location in an emergency, even when away from home.
A GPS medical alert can also help track seniors suffering from dementia. Some systems include a tracking app that lets caregivers know exact where your loved one is at any time.
But be sure to ask about contract terms. Some systems feature a 3-year contract. Make sure you can cancel your system at any time.
Medical alert systems help seniors live independently, staying safe in the homes they love.
