Medical Alarms for the Safety of our
Disabled, Elderly or those Living Alone.

This website is dedicated to extending the "continuum of care" with a medical alarm to the:

• elderly

• ill and frail

• disabled

• those alone

My own father is now 92 and mom is 85. Both are still living at home with mom taking care of dad due to his memory loss. Both OK, but both at risk.

No one can have caregivers, firemen, nurses, police and emergency room physicians all waiting in the living room. However, just because they're not in the house doesn’t mean that these helpful resources are out of reach. This situation is precisely where a monitored personal emergency alert system shines.

About The Alarm Units

A personal alarm (sometimes called Personal Emergency Response System or PERS unit) can mean the difference between help arriving quickly—in just minutes—and no help for hours or even days. Emergency planning is a part of modern life—and an emergency alert should be on the list of life saving tools for the elderly, particularly if living alone.

Most systems come with a waterproof Personal Help Button (PHB) typically worn as a pendant or as a wristband. This “Button” when pushed activates the Base Unit that is connected to both electrical power and the phone-line. The PERS system dials out on an 800 number to the monitoring center. There specially trained emergency operators work with the victim to get the most appropriate help to you quickly. Some times that might be a family member or next-door neighbor. Other times the professional emergency services of ambulance, police and fire are what is needed.

Assistance will be on the way, because of some advanced planning wisdom and a little modern technology.

Other Items

Items that can enhance the peace-of-mind that a Help Button brings are products such as an automatic fall sensor and a key lock box. When a couple are both at risk, a second PHB added to the Base Unit of the medical alarm might be just the thing.
