Medical Alert Systems Can Be Your Key to Security and Independence

Medical Alert Systems are often your key to security allowing you to tell others that you need help. Many seniors live alone in fear that they may be helpless in an emergency and not able to reach the phone for help. Even seniors who do live with loved ones are often home alone at times or have that emergency in the middle of the night when no one hears them. The security of having that medical alarm help button instills confidence that you or your loved one can get that help when you can’t reach the phone or shout loud enough for your family to hear you.
Even if a senior citizen has never fallen or has never had an emergency, there comes a time when protecting them or you with a medical alert system is the intelligent thing to do. There is no need to have a fall occur and have you lay on the floor for hours before help arrives. Each one of these incidents diminish your confidence a little bit…accumulating events such as multiple falls will finally force you or your loved one to move to a very expensive assisted living situation. I believe the elderly should live independently in their own home with their cherished memories for as long as possible.
Medical alarms are very simple medical monitoring devices that help keep seniors live safe, secure and independently. They wear a small pendant transmitter throughout the house as well as in the shower or tub. Mom or dad can wear either a necklace or a wristband transmitter type help button. When help is needed, they simply press their help button transmitter and an operator will begin communicating with them over a very loud speaker box that has an extremely sensitive microphone. These medical alarm systems are designed to work with seniors who have difficulty hearing or who have very soft voices. Even if they can’t hear us because they fell where we can’t hear them or they have removed their hearing aid…we will still get them the help that they need. The speaker box is an added benefit that often lets us understand the nature of their problem. These are not like a telephone communication but they do offer a means to communicate effectively.
Sometimes two people can be sleeping in the same bed when one has a heart attack and rolls off the bed…and the spouse never heard them until they heard a loud voice blasting over our speaker box. Maybe dad took his hearing aid out or mom just couldn’t shout lout enough in that particular situation. It happens more than you can imagine.
Personally, when my mom was alive, I would not let her live alone without a Senior Safety medical alarm. I felt confident that she would at least be able to get help and that I would be notified.
Give both you and your parents peace of mind…protect them right now with a life saving medical alarm.
