How Medical Alert Call Buttons Work

Home Medical Alert Emergency Systems, $29.95 monthly or about $1/day.

In case of emergency, simply press the button on the medical alert pendant and the base station will receive a distress signal. Within seconds, a professional medical operator will be talking to you through the loud speaker phone in the base station. Depending on the situation, the operator will summon the paramedics, family members or a neighbor. To keep your parent calm, the operator will stay on the line until help arrives. If the alarm is accidental, the operator will thank your parent or loved one for testing the system.
