- The HOME system comes in two versions: a landline version, and a cellular version.
- If you have a standard phone line in the home (also known as a POTS line, for Plain Old Telephone Service) you can connect the HOME system to any working phone jack in the home.
- If you have telephone service bundled with your cable TV or Internet, then your phone service is through your cable modem and known as VoIP phone service (for Voice over Internet Protocol). The HOME system will work with your VoIP service if provided by a major carrier such as Comcast, Spectrum, AT&T, Cox, etc (not a complete list).
- If using VoIP service from your cable provider, the phone line actually exists in your cable modem. Your phone is connected to a port in your cable modem, typically labeled as "TEL1". Our HOME system will need to plug into that port on the back of your modem. Your phone line then connects to the cable modem using a splitter we provide, or alternatively the phone line can connect into the back of the HOME system console. Full instructions are provided.
- IMPORTANT: Certain VoIP phone service providers are NOT ACCEPTABLE and may NOT be used with ANY Medical Alert System. Examples include: Vonage, Ooma, MagicJack (not a complete list). These services are fine for voice, but NOT for Voice and Data as required by a medical alert system.
- No Landline? No problem! Choose the CELLULAR version of the HOME System. No personal cell phone, landline, internet, or Wi-Fi required.
- The HOME System with Cellular has its own 4G LTE cellular card built in, and can use either AT&T or Verizon networks. If you have a preference for one of those carriers specifically, just let us know when you order.
HOW OUR EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEMS WORK:
- The HOME Medical Alert System is designed to get you help anytime you press the button.
- When you press the button, a signal is sent via your landline phone, or via built in cellular communcation to our Emergency Response Center. Our agents will know WHO and WHERE you are.
- We will talk to you over the 2-way voice speaker console and see what kind of help you need.
- You'll tell us if you need a family member, neighbor, or emergency services (police/fire/EMS). We'll get you the help you need.
- We then call your emergency contact list to notifiy them of the situation, and send text messages to their cell phones.
Buttons have a range of up to 1,000 feet from the base console, depending on environmental factors like building materials, etc. AutoFALL pendants have shorter range, up to 600 feet.
Voice range is 30-60 feet away from the base console. If we don't hear your voice after receiving an emergency signal, we'll call the home/cell phone listed to try to reach you that way. If we still don't speak with you, we'll dispatch help and notify your contact list.
Battery back up for landline-based HOME system is up to 72 Hours. Battery back up for cellular-based system is up to 24 hours.
Our HOME System protects you anywhere in and around your home, 24/7. It's perfect for folks who stay mostly at home, and want to remain independent. Best of all, it’s reliable, easy to use, and affordable. You can live alone, without feeling alone.
There are two parts to the HOME Medical Alert System - the wearable button, and the whole-house 2-way voice speakerphone console.
The speakerphone console is about the size of a hardback book. Plug it into power and plug it into your phone line. If you dont have a home phone line, we'll send you one with a cellular card built in.
You'll wear a small, lightweight button around your neck or on your wrist. It's waterproof, and OK to wear in the shower.
When you need help, just push the button.
We'll talk to you over the speakerphone console and ask if you need help. Just let us know what you need.
For example, you might say "I've fallen but am not hurt. Call my daughter". Not all calls require an ambulance and a fire truck.
But if you are hurt and need help, we'll dispatch EMS right away.
And then we'll call and send text messages to the people on your emergency call list to let them know whats going on.
By now you're probably thinking "what if I'm outside, or they can't hear me?"
If we get a signal for help and can't hear you, first we'll call your home phone or cell phone. If we don't reach you, we'll go ahead and send help right away.
OK. So now you may be thinking "well how are they going to get into the house to help me? Are they going to break down the door?"
That's where the lockbox comes in.
We include a lockbox to hide a key. When we dispatch EMS we let them know where the lockbox is located, and the 4 digit combination so they can get in.
Our hospital-grade HOME Medical Alert System provides you with peace of mind, knowing you can get help at the push of a button in an emergency. There is nothing to buy, and no long term commitments. And unlike other companies, your pricing is locked in, guaranteed to never go up!
The "Shower-Safe" waterproof HOME system buttons have up to a 1,000 foot range from the base unit - that’s three football fields! Buttons never need charging - internal batteries last up to 7 years, we'll notify you and send free replacement buttons if needed.
We alert Life Safety EMS when you need help, and notify your emergency contacts with calls and texts.
