Compare Medical Alarm Systems


What is a Medical Alert System?

You have heard the horror stories of people or even friends who have fallen and can't get up. What can you do? How would you feel knowing that you can get help whenever you need it!

Now, rest better knowing you CAN get help. By wearing your alert button (see the comparison chart below for the button types offered), help is just a button push away. A Medical Alert System (sometimes called a personal emergency response system, personal medical alerts, or fall alarm) will bring you help if you have fallen and can't get up with the push of that button. Most Emergency Medical Alarm Services do charge a small monthly subscription fee. But that fee becomes insignificant when compared to the security of knowing help is moments away in your time of need.

Is a Medical Alarm System what I need?

Only you can decide if you need a full blown service or simply an off-the-shelf product. Many factors such as costs, reliability, and proximity of the caregiver should be considered. When in doubt, you can elect to try a less expensive route and see if that works for you. Here are some products that you might consider if you wish to try an off-the-shelf solution.

Being able to talk through the pendant is much better than pressing a button and talking into a box, expecially if you are outside your home

I found a site that sells medical alert systems with NO monthly charge at all (freedomalert.com). You can actually talk through the emergency alert pendant. That is really cool. Other systems you have to press and button and yell into a box.
