HOW TO CHOOSE A MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEM

• Check with your senior facility. If you or your loved ones live in a senior community, it may offer an in-house or external medical alert system among its services. Beware of facilities that only have pull cords in a few places throughout the room or apartment — people don’t always fall or become ill within convenient reach of the cord. • Get referrals. Ask friends and family members if they can recommend any medical alert systems they have used.
