As the American population ages, the health and safety of elderly individuals is a special concern. With many senior citizens desiring to live on their own, the big question often pops up, “How can we keep our aging parents and loved ones in their own homes rather than encouraging them to enter independent and assisted living facilities?”
One great solution lies in the technology we have all seen or heard on TV. You may be familiar with the line, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”. The technology I’m talking about is PERS, which stands for “Personal Emergency Response Systems.” This technology creates a medical alert system. It’s simple, yet very intuitive and even more simplistic to operate.
When a person wearing a PERS medical alert pendant or wristband falls and can’t get to a phone to call 9-1-1, they can push the button on their pendant and be connected to WH Security’s monitoring center. The monitoring center operator will greet them and get the help needed immediately. It’s as simple as that!
As technology continues to move at a rapid speed, there are still simplistic systems for our elderly clientele to take full advantage of.
Give WH Security a call to discuss and learn information about our medical alert system and how you can provide around-the-clock assistance and the peace of mind you desire. For more information, call a representative at (763) 477-3664 or visit our medical alert system page.
