Learn More About Medical Alert Systems

To make sure that their senior medical alert is plugged in and working at all times, we have our customers test their system once a month. Now, you can do this test whenever you like. It can be whatever day of the month works best for you, and you can test at any time - day or night. While you don't need to test your medical alert on any sort of schedule, we find that it is easiest to remember if you mark this on your calendar. All you will need to do is press your senior medical alert button. When an operator speaks to you just tell them that you are testing. Testing your medical alert will only take a minute or two out of your day, and it is very important for your safety. So don't forget!

It's that season again :) … Just about everyone is scrambling to find the perfect gifts for their family. But before you buy a medical alert for your mom, talk to her about the idea. I know it may give away some surprise, but it is an important step towards making sure that she will use it properly. When someone is left out of a decision that effects them directly, they can often feel disconnected from the idea. The proper use of a medical alert involves your mom wearing the help button daily. If she feels like the medical alert was forced on her it will be incredibly easy for her to simply not wear her help button, or not wear it all the time. So talk to your mom. Have an honest discussion about your concerns and her hesitation (if she has any). I hope your mom grows to wear her help button with a lot of pride!

With any senior medical alert company that you are looking into you will need to have a home telephone service to have service. This is because your medical alert plugs into the phone jack on your wall and uses your phone service to connect you to our monitoring center in an emergency. As you know, home telephone services (cable packages, DSL, or a normal landline) are more reliable than cell phone service. Cell phones are known for sometimes not having a signal, getting bad reception, and even dropping calls. Ultimately, you don't want the senior medical alert that you use in an emergency to be hooked into an unreliable service. If you don't have a home phone, you can add a phone service to your cable package or add a simple landline at a reasonable price!
