Alarm Alert For Elderly People

Many seniors assume that falling is just a part of aging, but falls can be dangerous and may be a sign of other health related issues. A fall detection device can help to prevent injuries by alerting loved ones or medical responders if a senior falls.

These devices allow seniors to pursue their independent lifestyles at home with the confidence of knowing that help is just a push of a button away.

Intercom System

Using an intercom system for the elderly allows a caregiver to monitor a loved one from any room. If a movement is detected, the alarm will sound and stop the patient from moving around. This can save time and prevent an accident from occurring.

Some wireless intercom systems for the elderly come with a call button that is paired with a pager. When the elder presses the call button, the pager rings letting the caregiver know they need help. This system is ideal for homes that don’t have a landline.

Some intercom systems for the elderly also have fall detection sensors. If the sensor detects a fall, it will alert a medical monitoring company that can dispatch rescuers to the location. These devices are great for people with mobility issues, short-term memory loss, and early dementia or Alzheimer’s. They are simple to use and can be paired with other devices for added security. Many come with an app to allow family and friends to check on a senior even if they are away from home.

Medical Alert Button

If your loved one has a medical emergency, all they need to do is push the button on their home security system. This will activate a wireless sensor that will ring throughout their entire house, alerting their caregiver of the situation. The sensor will usually be water-resistant and come with false alarm prevention features.

Most systems also feature a button that will detect falls automatically. This will trigger a call to the system’s responseresponse center and will dispatch help as needed.

Medical Care Alert is a simple home medical alert system that offers two straightforward senior safety devices and a trusted response center. The company was started by elder care specialists and backed by FCi Communications, a commercial security, technology, and telecom firm. They offer two at-home services with fall detection that utilize pendant and bracelet help buttons, and a mobile service with GPS locating. Their monitoring is 24/7.

Cellular Alert Button

If your elderly loved one is prone to falling, there are cellular alert systems that can help. These include devices that automatically detect falls and send a signal to the caregiver when the button is pushed. The system will then call a designated contact, alert EMS and provide location tracking.

These cellular systems come with an in-home base unit that's connected to a cellular network or wearable emergency call buttons that have built-in cellular connectivity for use outside the home. Personal Safety Alarms When the alert button is pushed, it calls a monitoring center and follows a personalized plan that's been predesignated with the user and their caregivers. The monitoring center staff can call EMS, notify the user's emergency contacts or follow a different plan depending on the user's needs and medical condition.

Landline Alert Button

Medical alert systems help people who live alone, or have health conditions that put them at higher risk for a fall. They connect to a 24/7 emergency monitoring center with the push of a button on a pendant worn around the neck or wrist. A monitoring center employee can dispatch emergency services or family members depending on the situation.

Assistive Technology Services offers a landline system that works without an internet connection. It comes with ten easily mountable call buttons, which are also wearable as pendants, and has a 500 foot range. The system also has a walkie-talkie style receiver that can be worn on a lanyard, and calls a list of contacts when pushed.

Cellular medical alert devices are becoming increasingly popular as more homes ditch their landline phones in favor of cellular service. These cellular-based systems offer extra features not available with landline options, such as GPS tracking to locate the wearer when they press their help button and can't talk.
