Medical Alert systems
A Brief Guide
Medical alert systems provide emergency monitoring in and out of the home and, when trying to ensure the safety and well-being of your vulnerable family members and loved ones. They are designed to signal an emergency requiring urgent attention and to call emergency medical personnel. They can also alert family members and caregivers. When the medical alert system is triggered, a signal is sent to an alarm monitoring system. The situation is then assessed and, if required, medical personnel are dispatched or family members are contacted.
A fall or injury can be devastating to an elderly family member or you know or love. Ensuring that a family member or friend receives help as quickly as possible often leads to better outcomes. Providing your loved one with the right senior medical alert should be at the top of anyone’s home safety checklist for seniors.
Mobile medical alert systems provide that protection for you and your loved one. As we navigate the Coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing ways it is changing our lives, medical alert systems are rapidly growing in popularity and usage. Concerns about home safety for seniors and their well-being is naturally heightened.
“Medical alert devices have been ‘care extenders’ for many fairly independent elders living alone,” registered nurse Anne C. Sansevero told Money magazine. “In this era of the coronavirus pandemic, they can be a tool deployed to bridge the tech/touch divide.” Senior medical alert systems, she said, “can offer a clear communication method and a triage system in the event of a fall or other emergency".
