Panic Button Saves Lives During Elderly Home Invasions

Another use for elderly panic buttons are home invasions. According to a United States Department of Justice report, 38% of assaults and 60% of rapes occur during home invasions, with over 8,000 home invasions a day in North America alone.

Some ways to protect yourself from home invasion include a door brace on your front and back door. The door is the main way in which criminals gain entrance to your home. Having support for those entry ways is a smart decision.

A dog can also deter attackers from entering your home. Larger breeds that bark are typically the first choice for obvious reasons. All dogs have excellent hearing however, and can alert an owner to an impending intruder buying them valuable time to contact authorities or get to safety. There are also “Barking Dog Alarms” available for those folks who would love the protection without having to care for the dog.

Neighborhood watches and other awareness programs can be a viable deterrent to criminals as well. Just knowing that neighbors will be watching, taking information and possibly contacting authorities for anything that looks suspicious will be enough to keep violent criminals from invading your home.

Finally, there can be no better piece of mind than having your own home or medical security alarm system. This system will allow you to contact authorities and have them at your door with the simple press of a button.

First Response Announces a Higher Level of Product Safety

“Currently the industry standard for testing medical alert systems is monthly testing. First Response has taken it upon themselves to raise the bar so their medical alert systems are all tested once a week to ensure they will be working when needed.”

Katonah, NY May 26, 2009 – Currently the industry standard for testing medical alert systems is monthly testing. First Response has taken it upon themselves to raise the bar. Becoming a leader in the medical alert service arena “takes a little extra effort and sacrifice”, says Mr. Gregory Ribaudo, the Vice President of Operations for First Response Medical Alerts.  “We go the extra mile when monitoring our medical alert customers; all of our medical alert systems are tested once a week to ensure they will be working when needed.”  Mr. Ribaudo goes on to say, “At First Response we feel monthly testing leaves the end user at risk that their system may not be communicating with the central station in a time of need.”

Providing the highest quality service to customers has always been the mission at First Response, a national provider of medical alert services.  Many medical alert system users may not realize that their telephone line is not communicating properly.  It may have been disconnected by accident or there could be an issue with the local telephone provider.  These are problems that occur each day and need to be addressed more then once a month.  

Another area that First Response differentiates their services from most competitors is by staying on the line with their customers during an emergency response until medical help arrives.  This is an additional service that First Response feels is necessary in order to keep their end users calm during a potentially stressful time.  Minimum industry standards allow operators to put the user on hold during an emergency while they call for help.  At First Response the care specialist always stay on line with the user to provide a sense of comfort.  A second operator will then make the necessary calls to the emergency services and family members.  

These added benefits offered by First Response are essential when trying to provide the highest level of care throughout the industry.   Greg comments, “We strive to give our customers the best personal emergency response systems at a cost that competes with all the major providers.”
