Life alert devices help give the elderly, or anyone at risk of falls or other emergencies, more control over their lives - a greater sense of independence. They can help loved ones feel more at ease, knowing that help is just the push of a medical alert button away.
How to Choose a Medical Alert System
The best way to start is by asking a few questions.
Is this medical alarm for you or someone else?
How independent is the user?
(Lives in their own house/apartment, requires limited assistance, requires constant help.)
How far away are friends, family, etc., that can help in case of an emergency?
Medical alarm systems for seniors who live independently include:
The LogicMark Guardian Alert 911 System works with any landline and most VoIP phones. The emergency button dials emergency dispatch directly - no 3rd party call center, which means no contract or monthly monitoring fees.
The Freedom Alert System calls up to four contacts at the push of a button. If no one answers, this unit then calls 911, or you can call emergency dispatch directly. There is no contract or monthly fees with this system.
Medical alert systems for seniors with a caregiver include:
The Smart Caregiver Pager. Two call buttons provide the patient with an instant alert to the caregiver via pager. Use the system mounted to a surface or as a pendant for greater freedom.
The Central Monitoring Unit with Nurse Call Buttons. Each of three buttons is mountable or attaches to a lanyard. The alert goes to a central unit and a pager.
The Wireless Nurse Call Personal Pager. With a range of up to 100 feet, this unit gives both patient and caregiver freedom to move around. The pendant is a transmitter worn by the patient that sends an alert when activated.
Elderly alert systems for those with limited mobility include:
The Pull String Monitor by Smart Care. This monitor is ideal for chairs and wheelchairs. A clip fixes one end of the string to the patient, while the other end connects to the monitor. If the patient falls, the cord triggers an alert.
The Non-Magnetic Pull String Alarm. Created for patients with a pacemaker or other medical device with magnetic interference issues. A breakaway buckle holds the pull string in place.
