On Aging, Pride and Medical Alerts
Compared to a good amount of our GET HELP NOW customers I’m a young guy. I am 67, and I use a medical alert button to protect my health. In fact I wear it with great pride. For me, like for many other senior citizens, this little button is a symbol that I don’t give…
Because you can’t predict the future
How great would it be to be able to see into the future while planning your mother’s medical alert service? You’d know how many years she needs the system, where she’ll stay during that time and what type of phone service is available there. For many families a lot of these variables are unknown, but…
What is the Vial of Life?
We send a Vial of Life kit to all of our new customers with their order. This kit allows them to prepare and store their medical information to be better prepared for emergencies. Turns out, having basic medical information allows firefighters, paramedics & EMTs to do an even better job of treating a patient. They’ll…
What to Expect After Ordering
If you’re like me, you prefer to know what to expect before (or even sometimes immediately after) placing an order online. If you are officially a new GET HELP NOW customer while reading this: Thanks! We’re glad to have you on board and we look forward to speaking with you personally. We sure do have…
Having that medical alert conversation
When is the right time to get mom and dad started with a Senior Safety system? It’s sometimes tough to tell because there are no hard & fast rules for this sort of question. It depends on the situation and the senior. One thing is for certain though: It is never too early to get…
Don’t Forget to Mark Your Calendars!
Getting started with a new medical alert in mom’s home is pretty straightforward. Setting up the equipment, testing and showing mom how to use her new emergency button is a breeze for most families. I truly think the most difficult part of all this is remembering to test your system monthly. In the short-term, remembering…
Extra Protection this Winter
And while our office is located in Marina del Rey, California, where it never snows or even freezes, we know many of our customers deal with extreme winter conditions every year! Winter can be a dangerous time for seniors. Protecting yourself with a solid medical alert can help you to worry less about the obstacles…
Is the fall detect button available as a wristband?
If you’ve studied up on our fall alert system, you know that it comes with one button designed to detect falls AND your choice of a necklace or wristband standard button. The fall detection button is exclusively available as a necklace – for a good reason. It uses an accelerometer and gyroscope inside the button…
Your Contact List – A Reason to Meet the Neighbors
It’s nice to know the neighbors for a number of reasons, whether that’s “borrowing” an egg or a splash of milk while cooking or just making pleasant conversation. Some seniors have lived in the same neighborhood for many years and have a built in base of friends. Others may have recently moved and don’t know…
The Benefits of Bundling
Medical alert technology is changing fast these days. Just a few years back, on-the-go protection like our mobile GPS systems wasn’t even available… Now if you’re an active senior, you can take your mobile help button with you wherever you go. Or if you spend more time at home, you can choose an in-home system…
