Why Do I Need A Medical Alert System?

Life Assure Medical Alert Systems Can Help Keep You Safe In The Event Of An Emergency

Life Assure Why Do I Need A Medical Alert System Banner

Being Proactive Means Being Protected

Although the risk of falls can be reduced by taking precautions such as managing one’s health and home, there’s always a chance an emergency can still occur. At Life Assure we believe it’s best to be prepared for any emergency, and our solution is the medical alert system.

With a medical alert system, you can call for help anytime and anywhere you need to protect yourself in the event of unexpected emergencies such as falls. We offer in-home medical alert systems for seniors who stay at home and mobile medical alert systems for those who remain mobile and are on the go.

Unsure If You Need A Medical Alert System?

If you are unsure if you require a medical alert system, or are trying to talk to a loved one about getting a medical alert system, you are not alone. Here are some common concerns that many Canadians have about a medical alert, and why they decided to choose Life Assure medical alert systems:

I'm Older, But I Don't Believe I'm At Risk Of Falling

Age increases the risk of falling and other medical emergencies. Although it is easy to assume that no help is needed, most emergencies happen suddenly and unexpectedly. It is always best to be prepared before an emergency instead of dealing with any consequences after one. A medical alert system from Life Assure is the perfect way to prepare yourself, or a loved one, for any unexpected issues.

I Live Independently And Don't See The Need For A Medical Alert Device

As we age, the likelihood of accidents and unforeseen health issues increases. Falls and other medical emergencies are difficult to predict and can happen unexpectedly. Finding yourself in an emergency without having the means to call for help can lead to serious injuries. Having a medical alert system before an accident can make a serious difference and give peace of mind to yourself and your loved ones.

Having A Medical Alert Device Doesn't Align With My Lifestyle

Life Assure has a medical alert system for any lifestyle. Whether you're at home or on-the-go, we have a medical alert system that is perfect for you. Take our product quiz to find the right device for you.

My Cell Phone Offers Similar Medical Alert Protection

While cell phones are convenient, they cannot replace the necessity for a medical alert system. Unlike cell phones, Life Assure medical alert systems are water-resistant, ensuring protection even in the shower. Worn around the neck or wrist, Life Assure medical alert systems ensure help is always within reach. A single button press activates our medical alert devices, setting them apart from even the most user-friendly cell phone.

Using A Medical Alert Can Be Embarrassing

Life Assure's devices are compact and can be worn discreetly. Our Classic Home device comes with a pendant that is sleek and can be worn as a bracelet or pendant. Our Premium Mobile device is also small and easily worn discreetly, though it's design also makes it fashionable compared to a typical medical alert system.

It’s Too Expensive To Get A Medical Alert Device

Life Assure understands how important it is for seniors have safety and peace of mind. We offer our medical alert systems at an affordable rate. The protection provided by a medical alert device can outweigh any initial expense. Getting medical aid quickly during a medical emergency can prevent greater injury and reduce greater costs.

How Do I Choose A Medical Alert System Provider?

How Do I Pick The Right Medical Alert Product?

Life Assure How Do I Pick The Right Medical Alert Product Banner

Choose A Medical Alert System That Suits Your Lifestyle

Life Assure medical alert systems are designed to keep seniors safe in the event of an emergency. All our medical alert systems connect with a monitoring center of trained medical alert specialists who can provide guidance in an emergency and send help if needed. If you or your loved one is looking for help on the go the Life Assure Premium Mobile Plus is the perfect solution. If you or your loved one is looking to stay safe in the home instead, the Life Assure Classic Home medical alert system is a simple and effective choice. You can learn more about both medical alert systems by visiting our products page, or by taking our quick 60 second Product Quiz.

How To Compare Medical Alert Systems

The most important part of comparing medical alert systems is understanding what features you are looking for and where you are looking to be protected.

If you are simply looking for protection around your home, an in-home medical alert system, such as the Life Assure Classic Home, is a simple and effective option. When looking for such a device, its important to ensure the system can protect you anywhere within your home. The Life Assure Classic Home system accomplishes this with a wireless pendant that works at range from the base unit. The pendant is also water resistant allowing you to use it safely in the shower as well.

If you are instead looking to stay safe while travelling outside your home, a mobile medical alert system will best suit your needs. It's crucial for a mobile medical alert system to be equipped with GPS and cellular technology so that you can use the device anywhere you go. The Life Assure Premium Mobile Plus uses this technology to provide safety to seniors anywhere in Canada. It is also water resistant and can be used in the shower and the rain.

No matter what medical alert system you are looking to use, clear speakers and 24/7 monitoring are essential to ensure you can get the help you need when you need it. All Life Assure medical alert systems are designed with this in mind, allowing you to communicate effectively with your medical alert specialist anytime you need.
