You may be looking for a medical alert system for you or your loved one.
Medical alert systems are a great way to gain a little bit of independence and peace of mind while knowing your loved one is a safe in case of an accident.
The best systems out there come with a water proof pendant, medical alert bracelet or other piece of jewelry that activates a help button in times of distress.
Once the button is pressed, the medical alarm console is activated, which connects you to a care specialist.
The care specialist is an actual person on the other line that is there on a moment's notice.
These people talk to you right through the console in your house to guide you and get you the type of assistance you need right away.
There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a medical alert system.
1.
) UL Listing 2.
) Trained In-house Operators 3.
) 30 Day Moneyback Guarantee UL-Listing- The Underwriter's Laboratory is widely recognized as the standard in monitoring call centers.
Being listed under the UL means that that company has met the high standards of the UL.
Trained In-House Operators- Companies that hire and train their own emergency phone operators have much more control over the quality of their service.
The best companies constantly review the emergency transcripts of the calls and are constantly revising their approach.
Be very wary of companies that outsource their calls to other companies.
Many companies outsource calls to other countries.
30-Day Money back Guarantee- A satisfaction guarantee allows you to try out a system with no strings attached.
If you don't like it for any reason, you can return it and get a full refund.
This can be your trial period for you to test response times, equipment quality, and customer service.
I highly recommend you try more than one service.
