Emergency Call Buttons for the Elderly
Medical Care Alert makes taking care of your folks easier with the help button in the form of a mobile system, HOME system or SmartWatch. These buttons can be lifelines for those with limited mobility or health challenges. Seniors can effortlessly call for help in an emergency with the press of a button.
It's essentially like a 911 button for the elderly, directly connecting to our trained emergency agents. For the fashion-conscious, they can dress up their Medical Alert Button with our Jewelry Pendant Holder. No matter where your parents, grandparents or elderly family members live, our systems provide reliable service across all 50 states.
Your mom and dad can wear the medical alert button around their neck as a pendant or on the wrist with our bracelet option — they can even put the button on their belt clips.

Choosing the Right Emergency Call Button
When you are looking for the right emergency call button, we recommend looking for the following features:
24/7 monitoring capabilities: With devices offering both home and mobile coverage, your loved ones are protected wherever life takes them. The 24/7 monitoring from EMT-certified agents turns our medical alert devices into a lifeline.
Waterproof options: Some of our wearable help buttons for the elderly are waterproof, and others are splash-resistant. We always suggest not submerging them in water.
Long battery life: The batteries on our HOME Emergency Medical Care Alert Systems can last for five to seven years without charging or replacing them. The HOME & AWAY GPS has a three-day battery life, and the SmartWatch PRO has up to 48 hours of battery life.
Panic buttons that call family directly: Panic buttons that can call family members are invaluable tools. In an emergency, they can easily reach family members who know their needs and medical history. Hearing a familiar voice during a stressful moment can bring comfort and reduce anxiety — helping seniors feel supported while waiting for further assistance. Not all emergencies require medical attention. For example, getting locked out of a home can be scary, so being able to contact a family member directly allows them to resolve the situation faster.
GPS tracking for active seniors: Active seniors can confidently enjoy outdoor activities like walking, gardening or social outings without worrying about being unreachable in case of an emergency. Our HOME & AWAY GPS and SmartWatch systems allow responders to pinpoint their exact location quickly. Our SmartWatch system has two-way communication with fall detection and heart rate monitoring — which can identify irregularities such as unusually high or low heart rates for real time health monitoring.
