What to look for in a senior alert system depends on your personal needs and wants. Generally, seniors who desire to age in place in their homes should have:
- A pendant they can wear that allows them to press a button for assistance
- An emergency monitoring center that offers help and contacts first responders
- A quick, easy way to contact loved ones in an emergency
- Additional monitoring assistance, like help with a potential home intruder or fire
As you consider your personal preferences, look for a senior alert system that offers a wearable pendant with a call button and 24/7 monitoring services—specifically a team that will contact your designated loved ones in a medical emergency and assist with non-medical home issues.
Keep in mind that in most cases smartphone technology can’t offer the complete support you need when living alone since you don’t wear your smartphone and it’s not always accessible. For the majority of seniors, a senior alert system is the way to go.
