An Elderly Alarm that is Affordable & Reliable

Some seniors don’t understand how an Elderly Alarm actually calls the paramedics.  Do elderly monitoring devices call the paramedics directly?

During an emergency, the senior presses the button on their elderly alarm.  The transmitter sends a signal to the speaker box which then calls a monitoring center.  Once notified, the monitoring center will begin to talk with the senior over the console that is part of the elderly alarm.

At that point, they can tell the operator what the problem is and paramedics and/or family members can be notified. Of course if they cannot speak or hear, the paramedics will just be dispatched as a safety precaution.  That is a basic summary of how the whole emergency process works with elderly monitoring devices.

Just in case an emergency arises, you should be prepared to press the button on your elderly alarm. You may suddenly just feel faint or feel dizzy. Unfortunately people are reluctant to press their alert buttons for seniors out of fear they will "bother" us, or they aren't sure that they need an ambulance. These are never reasons to not use your elderly alarm system. If you feel faint, or unstable do not hesitate to press your alert button, it could save your life. Trust your instincts. We would rather answer a false alarm than miss what could have been a true emergency. We're here to get you help whenever you need it! [Read More...]

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!

Everyone is different. While it is certainly not common for our customers to get rashes from the our elderly alarm necklace, it has happened before. In this rare situation there are lots of options. Of course, keep in mind that our medical emergency necklace comes on a plastic beaded chain for a reason. This is a break-away chain, and its designed to break if it got caught on something during a fall rather than being a choking hazard. If that chain bothers you though, you are able to replace it with any chain you have in your house (or any necklace you can find at the store). While we think that the break-away chain is pretty neat, we prefer for you to be comfortable with your medical emergency necklace because we want you to wear it at all times just in case you need help from your elderly alarm. So if you need to, find a chain that works for you!

We get a lot of questions here about whether our elderly alarm is compatible with different types of phone services.

If you have a Voice Over IP phone service call us to verify that we cover the type that you have. The big thing to know with VOIP is that if your computer is off generally you will not be able to use your medical pendants to get help. In order for your VOIP phone to work, your computer needs to be on. If you have a question about our medical pendants and your phone service just give us a call. We'd be happy to answer them for you!
