A reliable medical alert system allows senior citizens to enjoy high quality of life longer.
Why do I say so? By having a good medical alarm system at home, the senior citizens are able to obtain emergency assistance whenever they face any unforeseen circumstances, especially when they are staying alone.
To be frank, there are many unexpected incidents in our life.
We are not sure what will happen to us even we stay at home without hanging around outside.
For elder people, they become weaker and the chances of getting stroke or heart attack are extremely high.
What will happen if they face such problems suddenly and there is nobody at home to provide instant assistance? Most probably the severe illnesses will lead them to death if there is a delay in getting treatment.
In fact, we can have longer life if we take necessary steps to reduce the risk.
Death can be avoided if we manage to get the right assistance on time.
By getting a good emergency alert system at home, when a senior citizen needs help urgently, he or she will be able to contact the right person to ask for help.
In general, the seniors will be given a medical alert pendant.
They can either wear the pendant around their neck or their wristband.
If they accidentally fall down from the staircase and they can't reach the phone, they just need to press the button of the pendant to activate the alert system.
When they press the button, a radio signal will be sent directly to a base unit connected to the telephone.
The emergency response center will receive the alarm instantly.
The officers on duty will talk to the seniors to provide help.
They will take necessary action after evaluating the conditions of the seniors.
If the condition is serious, a team of doctors will be sent immediately to provide treatment.
At the same time, the response center will also help to contact the family members of the seniors to inform them the situation.
Now, let's talk about the next issue - the investment cost.
Can everyone afford to have a medical alert system at home? In my personal opinion, life is precious.
We can't replace life with anything.
There is no "take-two".
Some people may find that purchasing a medical alarm system is costly.
If you think you can't afford to buy one, then you can choose to rent or lease one.
I strongly believe that paying a sum of monthly fee is not a financial burden to most of the people.
For people who have elderly family members at home, it is not necessary for you to buy them luxury items.
Getting an emergency alert system at home is considered the best gift you should give to them.
Indirectly, you are helping them to enjoy their high quality life longer.
On the other hand, for people who have reached the age of 65 and if you are staying alone, it is time for you to consider getting yourself an alert system so that you can have a peaceful mind in life.
Your life is well protected and you can continue enjoying everything you like.
