How does the medical alert system work?
Basically what would happen is you would have a little pendant that you wear either around your neck, or on your wrist. It is water resistant so you can wear it in the shower or tub. The important thing is if you ever need help, all you have to do is push the button you are wearing. About 40 seconds later our central station is going to begin to have a two way conversation with you through a little console that is plugged in at your house. At this time you may say something to us like – I don’t need an ambulance but would you please call my son or daughter, neighbor, or friend? – It’s not always a paramedic emergency and we are going to do pretty much whatever it is you ask us to do. However, if we are unable to speak with you or you say it’s an emergency, we would immediately dispatch the local paramedics to your house.
