Home medical alert systems?

Last edited Sun Jan 20, 2019, 03:38 PM - Edit history (1)

I'm thinking I should buy one as I had a bad fall recently, and a few in the past.
Any suggestions or recommendations ?
I do not have a 'landline'. I have Conumser Cellular on my android phone and wifi.

Thanks

make sure you get any features you want.

Be very careful tracking the charges, they will continue to charge forever , even if the monthly test fails. I had one patient who was charged for 3 different companies for years after the devices were lost.

Then get a automated call system with the wearable around the neck button for falls and emergencies. Zero costs after getting the system , and zero for the monthly charges after initial purchase of it, which used to be not that much. Think we ordered ours for the father -in-law and for me a few years ago from Amazon. Hope it helps.
