Medical Alert Devices For Seniors
Medical alert devices can be invaluable tools in keeping seniors safe at home or when out and about, offering immediate help if an injury or symptoms like chest pain arise, stroke occurs or someone needs an ambulance. Some systems include GPS that send your location directly to loved ones should an accident happen - some devices come as necklaces while others can be worn around your wrist or around your neck like watches.

The Jitterbug Freedom Mobile medical alert device was created as an all-in-one system for on-the-go protection, featuring GPS, fall detection, two-way monitor communication with emergency response agents and smartphone app for tracking health status or task reminders.

Some systems even offer lockbox access so caregivers or emergency responders can gain entry in an alarm scenario. Fall detection is a popular feature as falls are one of the primary reasons seniors seek medical assistance.

Medical alert systems with fast response times can save lives. Once an alert device user presses their help button or contacts a live monitoring center, an agent will assess their situation and dispatch either emergency services (EMS) or their own emergency contacts immediately - depending on which device is chosen, this may happen instantly.

Lively was the fastest to respond to our button presses during our tests; their operators were on the line within 10 seconds with Lively Mobile2 phones and 15 seconds for both Jitterbug phones. Other companies such as Medical Alert and Senior Safety (formerly American Medical Alarm) took around 20 seconds before answering calls.


Some medical alert systems offer monthly flat fees while others have more flexible payment plans, ideal for those who don't wish to commit long-term contracts. Furthermore, certain plans even allow you to use FSA/HSA dollars as payment.

Medical alert systems must be reliable and easy to set up, but with so many choices on the market it can be daunting to choose the best system. Our experts reviewed 14 devices and recommend two: Medical Guardian Home 2.0 as a home-based system and UnaliWear Kanega Watch as an on-the-go portable solution; both come equipped with responsive call centers as well as affordable prices - deciding which will best meet your needs is key before beginning to shop around for prices that fit within your budget. Once selected, begin shopping around to find your ideal price and add it directly into your cart!
