There are several benefits to having a medical alert system in your home and several reasons why Rescue Alert might be the best choice in systems. Their alarms cover a wide range, provide battery monitoring, and have highly sensitive microphones. The personal alarms can be worn as a pendant or on the wrist. They are stylishly designed and are durable and waterproof. One base unit will work with up to eight different alarm buttons so you can place them in various areas around your home or use the service to monitor more than one person living in the same home.

The backup battery on the Rescue Alert alarm center has a lifespan of 90 hours in case the power fails. Every time the button is pushed, the battery condition is monitored by the call center. When the battery gets low, the response center notifies you or a family member so you don't have to worry about your alarm going dead. If your battery does fail or go dead, an alert is immediately sent to the response center so your contact person can be notified of the situation.

This battery alert system can also be used to notify your contact person any time the power goes out to your home even though you may have full batteries. When your power comes back on, the response center will be automatically notified so you don't have to worry about being left home alone if the power goes out for extended periods of time.

The heart of the Rescue Alert medical alert system is the base unit that acts as a two way speaker with the response center. This unit has many functions. It acts as a speaker and microphone. It performs diagnostic tests on itself, the personal alarm, power supply, and phone line. It can be programmed to be a smoke alarm, medication reminder, and automatic welfare check.

To use the Rescue Alert for welfare checks, you can program up to five daily check in times where the system will sound an alert that you must respond to. Another option is to set the inactivity timer. This is an alert that is set for thirty minute intervals. Some activities will reset the timer, like talking on the telephone, but otherwise you must respond to the system every thirty minutes. This can give you peace of mind if you need to leave a senior home alone for short periods but want to make sure they are doing okay.
