All Medical Alert Systems are NOT Created Equal

All Emergency Alert & Response Systems (EARS™) are NOT the same!

If you're in the market for a Medical Alarm for an aging parent or loved one you need to know that all Emergency Response Co's are not the same. Sure the slogan "Help I've fallen and I can't get up!" applies to most, but that is where similarity ends.

And with so many choices available... how do you make an informed decision? When shopping around the 'Net for an emergency response system aka PERS the first thing to look for is not always price. After all... is there a more cost effective home safety devise available for a frail or aging adult? What else is available providing help and notification in an emergency for a little less than a buck per day? As an alternative and solution to institutional living nothing beats this system.

Price and terms are important, but the company you are dealing with is the most important part of this deal. You want a company that specializes in MEDICAL ALARMS and MEDICAL ALARMS ONLY. This service is way too important to be a side line.

Next, check for unconditional guarantees and free trial periods -- two great signs that the folks behind the company are serious about your happiness and total satisfaction.

Make sure your EARS(tm) is set to "check-in" daily. In the event your EARS(tm) is accidentally disabled someone from the company needs to be watching and calling to help correct the situation. This costs the company money and time but is worth it. After all these systems are great! But only when functional.

Last, I suggest you look for the most recent technology. Today newer system have added features like reminders for medications built right in as well as the usual, stand by batteries, voice boards and of course UL listings!

Now you want to check price. Good Luck!
