Worrying about your loved ones for their general safety is something that everyone does. Whether it’s about safety in a car, riding a bike, or playing a sport, people will always be concerned for them because there’s always a risk of accidental injury. Worrying about loved ones who may be older, though, is a different kind of concern. While most people wouldn’t be bothered or anxious about someone’s safety in their own home where it’s safe, families with elderly loved ones, not so much. By looking at three emergency response systems developed for protecting our seniors while living in their own homes, people could finally have peace of mind for their elderly family members’ safety.
Traditional Emergency Response System
A personal emergency response system/medical alert system is a device set up so that you can use it to call for help in an emergency when you feel ill or an accidental fall occurs and you injure yourself. The two main parts of this system include:
- A waterproof panic button that must be worn at all times either on your wrist or on a pendant around your neck.
- The receiver and control unit; this plugs into an electronic outlet and is connected to a cellular or a landline phone. This base unit is constantly awaiting the signal from the panic button when it is pushed and is ready to call an emergency response center immediately.
Along with the parts of these systems above, some companies that make these products offer special features that are included in the system plan offered or can be bought separately and added to the already paid for service.
- Backup battery; if there is a power outage or power issue in a senior’s household, some companies include a battery that can last hours, sometimes days without the need for an outlet.
- Two-way voice communicator; many systems have a two-way voice communicator that allows clients to speak to an emergency responder through a speaker if they pushed their button for help.
- Automatic fall detection is a very popular feature added to panic button pendants and is wanted by consumers very often for it ensures that it will automatically call for help if it senses that the senior has fallen. This feature will always make sure that help is called even if the client has gone unconscious from a head injury during a fall and can’t push the button.
Overall, the traditional emergency response system described above has provided coverage and peace of mind to loved ones everywhere, as it ensures that no senior will be left sick or in pain with help being only the push of a button away.
