How to Choose a Medical Alarm System for an Elderly Loved One

There are several suggested factors you need to look for when choosing an eldercare medical alert system.

• Inspect and evaluate several systems before committing to their use.
• Determine if the equipment will be compatible with other service centers.
• Question pricing, service and features of each system and compare costs.
• Test and ensure that the unit will work from everywhere in the house and that nothing will interfere with its signal.
• Read everything very carefully before signing or agreeing to any contracts.
• Check on the availability of the monitoring center. Are they available 24 hours a day?
• On average, how long does it take to get a response to an emergency call?
• How in depth is the training given to staff members at the center?
• What is the procedure and frequency for testing units in the home?

A personal medical alarm system is a big investment and important decision. Be sure to do as much fact gathering and research as possible before making a decision or signing a contract for service.
