How to choose a medical alert device
Are you considering purchasing a medical alert device to give you peace of mind and ensure you get the help you need in an emergency ? Here are four tips when shopping for a medical alert device .
1 . Consider your lifestyle and health . If you regularly engage in outdoor activities , for instance , look for a system that ’ s suitable at home and on the go . If you take medications that cause you to lose your balance , for example , you may be more interested in an alarm system that detects falls .
2 . Think about comfort . The bracelet or pendant you choose should be lightweight and comfortable because you ’ ll be wearing it every day . Falls happen more frequently in the bath and shower . Therefore , the device should be waterproof . If you prefer a pendant , ensure the cord breaks away easily to prevent choking .
3 . Check your contract . Your contract should clearly state which costs are included and which aren ’ t , so take a good look to avoid unpleasant surprises . Additionally , check that you won ’ t have to pay out of pocket if you accidentally press the alert button . You should also inquire if the service can be transferred should you move .
4 . Invest in professional installation . If you have your device professionally installed , the installer can clearly explain how the alarm system works . They ’ ll also ensure the device is compatible with your living situation . For example , they ’ ll choose the optimal location to ensure the system is always within close range .
Don ’ t hesitate to ask for help when choosing the most appropriate medical alert device for your situation . n
