Alert1 Review - In-Home and On-The-Go Medical Alert Systems
Alert1 offers a variety of device and package options, including in-home and on-the-go systems. When users push the button, they can communicate with an operator at the company’s command center in case of a medical or safety emergency.

They have a US-based monitoring center that is TMA Five Diamond Certified and can support callers in 190 languages. They also offer a no phone line/cellular option and add-on options like pill reminder systems and monitored smoke detection.
Home Medical Alert Device

The in-home medical alert systems in our review connect with a monitoring center through either AT&T or Verizon’s networks, which cover the majority of the United States. When you press your help button, a representative will communicate with you to evaluate the situation and contact EMS or a caregiver (if you choose that option).

Most at-home systems come with a base unit that plugs into an electrical outlet. They also include a portable help button you can wear around your home or carry with you as a necklace, wristband, or keychain. The base units and help buttons typically feature two-way communication, and some offer battery backup in case of power outages.

Some medical alert devices are non-monitored, which means they don’t connect with a 24/7 monitoring service and require users to call 911 themselves in an emergency. These devices are generally less expensive, but they may not provide the same level of protection. If you decide to opt for a non-monitored system, be sure to find out how long the device can last on its own before needing to recharge or replace the batteries.
On-the-Go Medical Alert Device

Using a cellular connection, mobile medical alert systems allow users to contact the monitoring center from outside their homes. They often include GPS, which lets caregivers and loved ones locate users who call for help. Some also have water-resistant help buttons and battery life that lasts for up to a day.

Aloe Care Health shakes up the medical alert system formula with a smart Hub that functions as both a speaker and microphone, making it easy to communicate with responders without any physical effort. The device also has sensors to monitor the temperature and air quality inside a user's home, giving family members and caregivers an additional insight into their loved one's well-being.

Another standout, GetSafe, offers a simple and affordable at-home system that connects via a landline or cellular network and provides 24/7 monitoring from EMT/EMD-certified agents. The company offers two bundled plans (an at-home base station with standard wall buttons and a mobile device) starting at $45 per month.
On-the-Go + Fall Detection Device

The best medical alert systems that offer fall detection have sensors that can sense when you’ve fallen and send an alert to the monitoring center. In most cases, an associate at the monitoring station will contact you through a two-way communication device (like a walkie-talkie) to assess your situation and request help if necessary.

While many of the systems that include fall detection also have at-home systems, a few stand out for their ability to provide protection on-the-go as well. One example is GreatCall’s on-the-go system, the Lively Mobile Plus. This system has a button you can press to connect with a 5Star representative, who will ask if you need help and send EMTs if necessary.

Regardless of whether you’re at home or out and about, the best medical alert systems make it easy to cancel your service if you decide the service isn’t for you. Look for a clear cancellation policy before signing up.
Customer Service

When seniors need help, they just press the button on their device and a representative at Alert1’s Command Center will contact emergency services or send a family member to assist. Personal Medical Alarms According to the company, their average response time is 20 to 45 seconds.

The system works over landlines, so it’s great for people who don’t have cellular coverage. Customers can also add a mobile alert device for when they’re away from home.

Alert1 offers a 30-day risk-free trial and no long-term contracts. The company also offers a prepaid option that allows you to pay for 10 months in advance and receive one free month of service. The company does not charge cancellation fees, but customers are responsible for equipment return shipping costs. In addition to this, the company has discounts for veterans and AARP members.
