Medical Alarms prove most effective when falling and fear of falling cause
you or your loved one to loose confidence in their ability to cope on their own.
Nobody should suffer needlessly. Wear medical alert jewelry so
that prompt medical treatment can be obtained on first alert. From the young to the
elderly, from the sick to the healthy, everyone at one time or another faces a
situation where their life literally depends on speedy action.
Family members move away from loved ones but
long for the comfort of an immediate connection. A medical alarm allows you and
your loved ones to maintain some independence with protection in case of an
accident.
Have you ever felt unsafe in your
home? Are you worried about a fall or injury and not being able to reach a
phone? Have you had a heart attack, stroke, or fall? Are you concerned that a
costly nursing home may be the only option?
Medical alarms generally consists of a simple electronic transmitter in the form
of a pendant worn around the neck or wrist. Make sure the medical alarm you
purchase is 100% waterproof so that it can be worn in the bath or shower. If you
fall, and press a button on the medical alert, a signal is generally transmitted
to a monitoring station and/or perhaps activates a speakerphone inside your
home. You describe the problem and appropriate action can be taken. If you
cannot speak, your medical alarm should automatically call an emergency service.
If you have a garden, buy a medical alarm that can be activated from up to 300ft
(or however big your garden is) so that if you fall outside, you can get help.
