Your Lifeline: Medical Alerts During an Emergency

June 15th, 2008 | Medical Alerts

We’ve all heard the commercial where the elderly woman cries, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.” While this quote has become a classic of American advertising — not to mention the butt of many jokes — the service provided by these companies is invaluable, especially for retired folks living on their own.

These emergency alert systems, such as the service offered by Lifefone, are lifesavers. They are designed to be easily accessible, many times providing a wearable pendant or wristband that can call emergency services with the press of a button 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They’re reliable, waterproof and never need a battery change. The console itself comes with a battery backup to provide up to 36 hours of coverage even when the power is out, and the center is automatically notified whenever there is a power failure.

For anyone who is elderly, has chronic health problems, or would like to provide extra security for aging parents who are living alone, these medical alert systems provide a vital, lifeline emergency response when it is needed most.
