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.
