Alternatives to consider
What to check before you sign up
Whichever medical alert provider you choose, compare these points:
- In-home vs. mobile. In-home units use a base station. Mobile devices use cellular and GPS for coverage away from home.
- Automatic fall detection. Usually an add-on fee. Detects many but not all falls.
- Response center. Look for 24/7 U.S.-based monitoring and ask about average response times.
- Contracts and equipment. Check for activation fees, equipment costs and whether you can cancel anytime.
