A number of people ask us what would happen if they order the emergency call button necklace for mom and then she decides after the senior alarm system arrives that she wants the wristband… There are a couple of options for you to choose from. First off, you can switch the necklace out for a wristband for a $15.00 shipping and handling fee. We would ship the wristband emergency call button to you with an envelope to return the necklace in. Or if you like you could purchase a new emergency call button for mom for a one time fee of $35.00. Either way works! The important thing is that mom has a button with her senior alarm system that she is comfortable wearing at all times!

While most people use our elderly alarm to get help during a medical emergency, we are a full certified alarm company and we can dispatch police or fire crews for you as well… Let’s say you are at home alone and you think you hear someone in your house. You’d just press our personal security alarms button. When the elderly alarm operator talks to you over the speaker, you will just tell them what is going on. If you need, we’d be glad to dispatch the authorities your way. If it’s not an emergency but you are concerned, we could call one of your neighbors or a family member who lives nearby. Whenever you use our personal security alarms, we are more than glad to get you whatever type of help you need!

Even if you are anticipating having these medical alarm systems for many years to come, you should avoid committing to a contract period with any company. First off, you just never know exactly how long you will need personal alarms in you home. Your situation may change or you may decide that you’d prefer to be with another company. Good medical alarm systems come with flexibility! Think about it. If you sign up for a company for a three year contract, what incentive do they have to provide you with great customer service when something goes wrong? You can cancel our personal alarms at any time for any reason. And you are going to be getting the best customer service in the industry along the way… No matter who you choose, make sure you aren’t committed to any length of time.

I cannot stress enough how important it is for you to test your medical emergency alerts once a month. That is why we remind our clients to test when they call our office, and that’s also why I write a good blog every two weeks or so about it! There are a lot of factors that go into home monitoring for seniors on your end. The biggest issue we encounter is seniors accidentally having their medical emergency alerts connected improperly. Maybe they had to unplug it while organizing and didn’t get it set up right when they plugged it back in. Maybe they have a maid or a caretaker who helps out and didn’t realize what they were unplugging. Running a test once a month both gives you peace of mind that your home monitoring for seniors is working and helps you be prepared for an emergency!

Flexibility is an important part of our elderly monitoring devices service! As one of our customers, you will be able to cancel the alert buttons for seniors whenever you need. All canceling involves is sending back the equipment to us. The equipment is on a rental basis with our service, but there are no additional equipment fees. That rental is fully covered in whatever price plan you choose. So when the time comes to cancel, call us at the office here, and we will get you all the information you need to return your elderly monitoring devices. We have to wait until the equipment returns to our office to fully cancel you out. This is specifically so that mom can still press the alert buttons for seniors and get help even after you called to get that cancellation info…

A lot of our medical alert customers in the state of New York and elsewhere on the East Coast are thankful for less snow this year. Less snow means safer conditions for so many seniors! Every year slips on icy driveways and just living in cold conditions can be a strain on the senior population. Even without the regular heavy snow, seniors should consider getting a medical alert for their home. You never know when an emergency or fall will happen, so it’s just smart to get on top of it earlier… In the meantime, enjoy the warm weather New York!

You’ll be glad to hear that both our senior medical alarm necklace and wristband are waterproof and can be fully submerged. This means your mom can wear that button in the shower or tub, while doing the dishes, or while she is outside watering the lawn. This allows mom to get help through her alarm for elderly at all times. The only time that she will need to take off that senior medical alarm button is if she is swimming in the pool. So if mom has a pool at the house, make sure she knows. This is because the help button shouldn’t be used in chlorine. Over time the chlorine would make eat at alarm for elderly button and this will make it less reliable over time.

When you order medical response systems from us, you don’t need to set up an installation appointment. In order to avoid costly set up fees and make it so that you don’t have to schedule any appointments or wait for the technician to arrive, we just ship out your system and medical panic button directly to you. Our medical response systems are easy to set up. You literally just need to plug it in to a phone jack and an electrical outlet. Since most seniors can do this installation themselves without any trouble, we don’t send out technicians. You can set it up at your convenience and then press that medical panic button to test it. As long as you can speak to an operator over the medical response systems speaker, it is set up right and working!

Our senior medical alert is designed to cover your entire home and yard! First off the medical alert speaker covers up to a 3500 square foot home. You should be able to speak back and forth with an operator from basically any room in your house. The emergency alert button range is something completely different though. That button will work well up to 400 ft away from the senior medical alert base. If you are outside in your yard or garden, all you have to do is press that emergency alert button. We will not be able to communicate with you outside the home, but we will assume that you are in trouble based on that signal and help will be on its way!

There is a direct correlation between having senior alert systems in your home and living longer. It is not some great secret that taking care of yourself and being able to get help when you need with the press of the button can help extend your life. Because of senior home monitoring seniors have the option to live longer and healthier lives. This is why doctors and other medical professionals recommend senior alert systems for senior citizens living alone. Are you worried about having a fall or other emergency at home? Stop your worrying and get senior home monitoring! Knowing when to get yourself a little more help is all part of taking care of yourself…
