Some municipalities have chosen to offer alarms for the folks in their communities, some are even offering medical alert systems for seniors. While some municipalities are offering comparable rates to many medical alarm companies the service varries so check to make sure that you will be the best bang for your buck and the service that you need.

There are some bonuses to choosing a good medical alarm company vs. using the program offered by your municipality. One of the biggest benefits is that with a medical alarm company you do not automatically have paramedics sent to your home because we are able to speak with you and call a neighbor or friend to assist you. When you have your service through your local municipality your call for help goes directly to the 911 dispatch center and they send rescue. For many seniors these calls can become costly and may actually result in them not using the service even when they need it.

 Another major drawback is, like I mentioned, that many seniors stop using their medical alert systems because they don’t want rescue to be sent. Many seniors will lie on the floor for hours, even days, because they can not afford another trip to the emergency room or because they are too embarrased to have rescue come to their house. With a medical alert system from American Medical Alarms you don’t need to worry about that because you can ask us to call a family member, friend or neighbor.

American Medical Alarms provides a low cost medical alert system and is recommended by more seniors and their families across the United States. Our medical alert system allows us not only to send rescue if you need it but also to speak with you and, if it’s not a medical emergency, call your family member, neighbor or friend to assist you. This two way voice communication allows you to decide how you would like us to proceed and communicate your needs to us.

We encourage you to check out a variety of options before choosing a medical alert system. However, if you are looking for a reputable company with a great low monthly rate we highly recommend you checking us out at American Medical Alarms.
