WHAT EXACTLY IS A MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEM?

It is a service that helps customers maintain an independent lifestyle by provided a guaranteed line of communication in the event of an emergency, usually by use of alert pendant worn by the customer. We have two types of service, Belle and In The Home, that can get you help no matter what.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO SERVICE TYPES?

Belle is our mobile medical alert pendant. It’s a powerful device that uses 3G cellular coverage to place calls to our monitoring center when the customer presses the emergency call button. A built-in, two-way speaker and microphone allows the customer and USA Medical Alert operators to communicate and quickly determine the best course of action. Belle is great for protection both inside the home and outside wherever cellular coverage is available.

In The Home is the traditional console-and-pendant setup. The console plugs into an electrical outlet and phone line. The customer wears a lightweight, waterproof pendant that when pressed sends the console into alarm. The console will connect to a USA Medical Alert operator who will then communicate with the customer via the console’s speaker and microphone. In The Home service also allows for extra pendants (great for couples who would like to share service) and fall detection pendants.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I PRESS MY PENDANT?

An alarm signal is sent to our monitoring center from your base station either over your home phone line or the cellular network. There are no charges to press your pendant so don’t be afraid to do so! Our operators receive the unique signal your medical alarm is distributing and will open up the two-way voice communication with all your pertinent information such as name, address and emergency contacts right there at their fingertips. From there, let the operator know what they can do to help.

WHO WILL ASSIST ME DURING AN EMERGENCY?

When you sign up for our service, you will be asked to provide names and phone numbers for emergency contacts such as friends, relatives and neighbors. In the event of an emergency, our highly trained operators will ask you who to contact. We will dispatch emergency services upon request or if the operator cannot communicate with the customer.

WHAT IF THE OPERATOR AND CUSTOMER CAN'T HEAR ONE ANOTHER?

This can happen occasionally but the important thing to remember is to stay calm, we’ll still be able to get the customer help. Our operators are trained to treat each signal as an emergency. Whether it’s dispatching emergency services or notifying the emergency contacts, we’ll take the appropriate action to ensure the safety and well being of our customers.

CAN I TAKE THIS IN THE SHOWER?

Yes! Both Belle and all In The Home pendants are completely safe for the shower. Please do not submerge any pendants in standing water.
