Medical Alert System Benefits
The Benefits of a Medical Alert System for Your Loved One
A medical alert system gives people with chronic health conditions, the elderly, and other high-risk populations who live at home security in knowing they have a way to contact emergency help when they need it simply by touching a button. Family members also feel better when they know that their loved one will get the help they need when they need it.
Independence and Freedom
More and more people want to hold on to their independence as they age, and a senior medical alert system offers a built-in safety measure people who live alone would not otherwise have: the safety of knowing that no matter what the situation, help will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays.
People are living longer today thanks to advances in medicine, better medical treatment, the ability to have in-home health care, and help making the home a safer place for seniors who want to continue to live independently.
Benefits of Medical Alert for Seniors
Medical alert systems are designed to let your loved one contact medical alert dispatchers if they fall, experience chest pains, or if they know or suspect they are having a heart attack or stroke. Trained responders contact emergency medical personnel and family members to let them know what is going on. In emergencies like these, timing is everything, and fast emergency medical response often means the difference between life and death, not to mention how fully a loved one is able to recover.
When families are spread across the country or separated by neighboring states, it’s often impossible for children to get to their parents soon enough to help them. Installing a medical alert system in a parent’s home is the safest way to make sure help is always available at the push of a button. When something happens, an elderly person may not be able to contact their children right away. These systems will take care of that, making sure that the senior parent gets the proper treatment as fast as possible.
Medical Alert System with Fairfield Family Care
Unfortunately, many PERS (Personal Emergency Response Systems) are too expensive for those who need them most. Luckily, people who live in Westchester, New Haven, and Fairfield Counties can get help from Stamford-based Fairfield Family Care, a company that has helped area families for the past 25 years. With our medical alert system, seniors can afford to subscribe to the service without having to buy equipment, pay an activation fee, or lock themselves into a contract. There are no cancelation fees, either. Thanks to the low monthly monitoring fee, area seniors can continue to enjoy their independence right in the comfort of their own homes.
The greatest benefit of any emergency medical notification service or medical alert system is a sense of relief it gives to seniors and the peace of mind family member’s gain, and the possibility that it may save their life
