Why we know this works

We love this medical alert service because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we know the real danger of a fall is often the hours spent on the floor before anyone knows. What actually happens when you press the button? A trained emergency dispatch operator answers 24/7, talks with you, and sends emergency services or calls a family contact, whichever the situation needs. Around the Clock offers a landline home unit, a cellular unit that needs no phone line, and a GPS wearable that goes anywhere, with automatic fall detection available and no long term contracts or hidden fees.

This is especially important for anyone living alone with a history of falls or fainting, and for conditions like multiple sclerosis that can change quickly. One thing to watch: a button only helps if it is worn and the person remembers to press it, so for a loved one with dementia a Pressure Mat Alarm with Chime that alerts the caregiver automatically is usually the better fit.

Specifications

Go to www.aroundtheclockmedicalalarms.com and choose the service option that fits best. The company offers several flexible plans:

Landline (home-based unit, compatible with VoIP, traditional phone) — $36/month, or $33/month if paid quarterly, or $30/month if paid annually.

All plans are monitored 24/7 by certified EMD (Emergency Medical Dispatch, 9-1-1) trained response specialists.

No long-term contracts or hidden fees.
