EVERYDAY PERSONAL SECURITY
4 REASONS TO TRY A MEDICAL ALERT DEVICE
BY ERYN MCGEE
This personal safety & security company has created the ultimate emergency help hack: One very easy to use Medical Alert Device that promotes independence, safety, convenience & peace of mind.
Press the BIG blue button on the LogicMark GuardianAlert911 or GuardianAlert911+, and it immediately connects with a 911 operator.
1. 911 IS JUST ONE (BIG BLUE) BUTTON AWAY
While home can be a safe haven, it can also be the perfect stage for accidents or falls. In fact, six out of 10 falls happen right at home, according to the National Institute on Aging (NIH). That’s why a medical alert device like the Guardian Alert 911 Plus means peace of mind. It not only connects with 911 at the push of a big blue button; it allows for conversation with the emergency operator. It’s 4G LTE-enabled, meaning it works anywhere there’s 4G LTE cellular coverage. So in addition to wearing the device at home, it can be worn around town as well.

2. “IS THIS AN EMERGENCY?” SENIORS CAN GUT CHECK WITH LOVED ONES
Sometimes seniors find themselves in a situation at home (they’re feeling a little “off”, they smell an odor coming from the basement) but they’re not sure if it requires emergency services. With the FreedomAlert, the decision is taken off their shoulders. A push of a button sets into motion an automatic string of phone calls to four previously programmed contacts. If the first person doesn’t answer, the device automatically moves onto the next person. When someone picks up, the senior can explain the situation. If the loved one on the other end feels the situation requires emergency services, they can simply press 911 from the keypad on their end. The FreedomAlert will automatically dial 911 and connect the senior with a 911 emergency operator.
3. A PERS CAN BE BROUGHT INTO THE BATHROOM (AND CAN EVEN GET WET!)
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 230,000 people sustain injuries in the bathroom each year. The majority of these injuries are the result of falling, with those aged 65 or older having the highest injury rate. Many seniors may be hesitant to bring a phone into the bathroom for fear of it getting damaged. But the truth is, without a way to connect to someone, a bathroom fall could turn tragic — with no one else aware that the senior is injured on the floor. The LogicMark line of PERS devices are all water-resistant. It’s not only “okay” for these devices to be brought into the bathroom; it’s encouraged. Should a fall happen, having a PERS device on hand could make every single bit of difference.

VERIFIED PURCHASER REVIEWS
2-way talking with the pendant!!
"This product is perfect. The pendant will make the call(s) when my aunt presses the button; she hears them answer through the pendant (sound not adjustable but loud enough even without her hearing aides), and she can talk back without touching the pendant. The sound has excellent clarity for both parties. "

It does what it's supposed to do.
"When it comes to the safety of a loved one, over analyzing is more dangerous than just getting a good ERS. This one works. It's quick & does what it's supposed to do. It calls & keeps on calling until it reaches someone from family & friends to 911. This machine saved our family member from catastrophe less than a week after she got it."
• MAGIC MARE - VERIFIED PURCHASE
This thing is awesome
"This thing is worth its weight in gold. I'm a RN who looked at lots of models. I got this for my elderly parent. It has proven reliable & is simple for her to operate, all she has to do is press the button on the pendant that she wears around her neck for 3 seconds & it calls for help. No monthly service fees.

As we get older, we may find ourselves looking out for the very ones who cared for us when we were young. Whether we’re across the state, across the country, or even just across town, one factor remains constant: We want the peace of mind that our loved ones are safe, but we also don’t want to be overbearing. Our elders have stories, too. So many want to “age in place” — to live at home, in their familiar and comfortable surroundings, for as long as possible. How can we keep our distance but also give them the security that help is on hand? The solution comes in the form of a Medical Alert Device. This is a device that lets someone call for help with just the push of a button.
