Reliable & Affordable Medical Alert Systems in Montana

My father does fall a lot in his home, which is the main reason we want to get him a medical alert, but most of the time he just needs a neighbor or relative to come by and help him up. Is there a way we can have someone called first instead of 911 if it's not serious?

Hi Janice,

If your father presses the help button on the medical alert and requests to our operator that we call an emergency contact instead of 911 because it's not serious, we can definitely do that. We would only dispatch 911 if we don't get a response or he says it's more serious.

I hope this helps,

Lots of our customers out of Illinois are breathing a sigh of relief this month. Warmer weather has been on its way and they seem to be in the clear as far as snow goes until the fall. During harsh winter conditions its important to protect yourself with these medical alert devices. A solid medical alert will cover you in the yard and driveway as well during icy conditions. We know lots of seniors have spills during the winter due to snow or ice. Aging seniors who already have balance issues or are prone to falls are especially vulnerable. With medical alert devices, all they'd have to do is press that help button. Even if they are outside and unable to speak to an operator, their medical alert provider will send help! So next year, whether you live in Illinois or somewhere else with a harsh winter - consider medical alert devices for your safety!

A lot of our customers end up ordering an extra emergency alert button for their home. This is often good just in case you misplace the main button that you use and need a backup while you search around for it. If you end up finding a misplaced medical alert button after several months or a couple years though, how do you know it is still working? The best way to know if any part of your system is operational is to test it. Don't hesitate to test that medical alert anytime you wonder "is this machine working?"… You don't even have to test it on your own. Just give us a call at the customer service office and ask us to help you test your system. We will supervise to make sure everything goes smoothly while you press that emergency alert button and speak to our operator over the medical alert speaker. We want you to feel comfortable using that system! And testing it regularly to know that it is working is all part of that!

Its important to always think about your situation and what you need - sometimes your health can change awfully suddenly and its good to be prepared. Seniors who live with family are often less likely to feel the need to have a medical alert in their home. While its nice to have family around through part of the day, chances are you spend a number of hours each day alone. Emergencies can happen at anytime. This could be when a family member is around and able to help or it could be when you are alone. You could have a fall when it is late at night and everyone else is asleep. If falls or medical emergencies are a concern, don't wait to get yourself protected. A medical alert helps immediately to get you help instead of waiting to be discovered by a family member or hollering and hoping someone hears you. Whether you are alone or home with family all you would need to do is press the medical alert button to get the help you need. It's a smart idea for all seniors.
