EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEMS

1 EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEMS You have contacted our office seeking information about Emergency Alert services. The following information is being provided to assist you in making an educated decision about which system will best meet your needs. This document includes information about Emergency Response Systems, programs which allow persons to initiate immediate contact with a monitoring service during an emergency, and Locator Aids, programs that identify or locate persons who may wander away and become lost. Senior Information & Assistance does not recommend, endorse or suggest that you should use any of the service providers named in this packet of material. We offer this information only as a resource to help you get started in meeting your needs. We encourage you to contact several of the following agencies prior to selecting one. Ask for information about types of systems available, how each system works, and costs involved (including installation, monthly rental/service fees, and whether there are any purchases required). Consider your circumstances before making a decision. Are you in the home frequently? Are you outside and need a system like a necklace or bracelet? Do you go to a specific hospital? Who is your emergency contact person? Are you on a Medicaid program that might pay for a system? Is English your primary language? Do you need medication reminders? Do you have someone who checks on you now? Are you concerned about falling or have fallen in the past?
