What is a Personal Emergency Response System?
Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERSs) are medical alert devices designed to enable frail elderly and those living alone with chronic health conditions who live alone, who live alone, to get immediate help when an emergency situation arises. A small pendant around their neck or wrist that they can push when need be activates a call back to a central monitoring station where an operator will chat with them until alerts can be sent out depending on the nature of their situation - to caregivers, family members or emergency responders as needed.

Pendants are lightweight devices designed for wear on necklaces, bracelets or key rings. dementia alarm A battery-operated transmitter sends a signal from its base unit directly into someone's telephone line; when the pendant is pushed it connects with either an emergency response center or answering service that connects directly with them - where an associate can assess what has happened and contact emergency services immediately if necessary.


PERS providers often offer multiple packages and costs with different costs, fees and monthly charges for equipment use. Medicare recipients and private insurers usually do not incur costs for this equipment as part of their plan benefits.

PERS systems are simple and straightforward: press the button, and a representative will contact the user immediately to discuss what has occurred, before dispatching an ambulance if needed or calling upon their designated responders if someone needs medical help or needs support from others.

PERSs can not only offer peace of mind, but can also assist the individual to remain living at home longer. Caregivers can take a much-needed break without worrying about an emergency occurring with no one around to care for them. Furthermore, these devices reduce wandering risks; this may help the person stay home if they become disoriented while also decreasing chances for falls - the primary source of injuries among seniors.
