Medical Guardian provides top rated medical alert systems and medical alarm services for the elderly. Thousands of American seniors now enjoy a restored sense of independence, and their loved ones are comforted with the knowledge that help is always just the push of a button away. A medical alert system consists of a button that is worn conveniently on the wrist or around the neck. When the button is pressed, the medical alert system sends a wireless signal to a base station in the house that notifies our monitoring center of an emergency. Within seconds, an operator will respond over the two way speaker and send emergency help if needed.Read more.
Med alert systems also offer considerable advantages over assisted living facilities. The typical assisted living facility costs average 3,000 per month, depending on quality of care. This can place a serious financial burden on seniors and their families, and can lead to a reduction in physical and mental health. Seniors who remain in their own homes generally lead more active lifestyles and tend to live on average, five years longer than their counterparts in assisted living homes. We offer the best medical alert systems in the nation and remember, it is much more reliable than cell phone service. Unlike cell phones, these devices are easy to use, always within reach, and never need to be recharged, search for a signal, or drop a call.

Simply plug the personal alarm base station into a power outlet and phone line and notify the monitoring center of your new location so we can continue to send your local fire, police, or ambulance service.
According to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control, 1 in 3 senior citizens experience a fall every year, and those seniors are now more than twice as likely to fall again. Anyone who is age 65 or older and lives alone should be protected with medical alert systems. Without a medical alarm, anxiety about falling at home can greatly diminish quality of life. Fear of falling causes many seniors to limit their activities and restrict their movement, leading to reduced mobility and physical fitness, and actually increasing their actual risk of falling.

Many seniors and their loved ones believe an assisted living facility or nursing home to be the only care option. Nationally, even low cost assisted living facility expenses average $3,000 per month, and quality of care varies. This is a severe burden for seniors living on a limited income and their families, so how much information comparison one does is recommended. The dramatic life change when moving into assisted living facilities can be traumatic for seniors. For many, their health condition actually deteriorates, as they are less active and independent. In addition to a reduced quality of life, the reduced mobility and fitness level lead to a greater fear of falling and an increase in actual risk of injury. Is there a better low cost option seniors are looking for? Yes. The most reliable, most popular and most effective alternative to assisted living is a personal emergency response system.
