Live Attendants Around the Clock
At Rescue Alert, we are always thrilled to answer your questions about our state-of-the-art medical alarm systems and services. One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is “Must I have a medical emergency to use my Rescue Alert?” The answer is no. In fact, you will be surprised to learn that only six percent of all calls received by Rescue Alert are medical emergencies.
Although Rescue Alert is designed to provide immediate, emergency services in the event of a medical emergency, it can also provide you help for nearly every type of need. We understand that some emergencies may not be medical related. We also understand that certain needs may not be life threatening emergencies. Our medical alert attendants are kind, helpful and willing to assist you with any need or request you may have.
Rescue Alert subscribers have come to trust our services because they are provided the independence to live like they are used to, while having the peace of mind that a live attendant can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In fact, subscribers are encouraged to press their medical bracelets or necklaces regularly to test the system and ensure quality response times. So go ahead, press the button as often as you wish, even if you don’t have a medical emergency.
Medical Alert System Comparison
There are many reasons why Rescue Alert is better than other medical alarm systems. One very important reason is that our company manufactures and monitors our own equipment. While this may seem like an industry standard, it’s not. However, at Rescue Alert, we believe that constant improvement and product development is only possible with an in-house team of experienced staff.
For more than 20 years, Rescue Alert has been in the forefront of the medical alert system industry. We have dedicated years of engineering and research in order to develop the high- quality system that thousands of subscribers and their loved ones have come to trust. Due to our dedication and ongoing research and development, we have created a personal emergency medical alarm system that out-performs all others.
Not only do we develop our own products, but we are also involved in the medical monitoring business. Rescue Alert offers a state-of-the-art Response Center boasting EMD-certified attendants. Unlike other call centers that are converted burglar alarm call centers, Rescue Alert attendants are hired and trained to monitor personal emergency response systems.

Rescue Alert Purchase Plans
Whether you’re at risk for injuries, physically disabled or alone part of the day or night, you may need a long-term solution in order to continue living on your own. If this is the case, you should consider purchasing your very own personal emergency response system.
Rescue Alert is one of the few companies that offer a purchase option for a medical monitoring system, saving you money in the long run. We offer two affordable purchase plans. The first purchase option is available for $199 (a one-time charge for the medical alert system) and only $15.95 a month for monitoring. This plan includes the RA 400 medical alert base unit and your choice of either a waterproof pendant or medical alert bracelet panic button.
The second plan is our lifetime monitoring subscription for only $849.99. This lifetime plan ensures that you own the medical alert system without having to pay any monthly service or rental fees. The plan includes the RA 400 base unit and two waterproof panic buttons and is available for the lifetime of up to two original subscribers.
Although we have rental options for short-term subscribers of Rescue Alert’s medical alarms, our purchase plans are ideal for people who desire to live independent lives with the peace of mind that emergency help is only a push of a button away.
Affordable Rental Options
Rescue Alert understands that our subscribers’ needs vary. While one subscriber may require long-term medical monitoring services and elderly care, another may only need temporary services while recovering from surgery. This is why we offer a wide range of affordable rental pricing plans.
When compared to other major medical alarm companies (such as Life Alert, Family First LLC, ADT and Lifeline Systems) Rescue Alert offers the lowest prices on monthly, quarterly and annual rentals. Our online comparison chart reveals pricing plans for eight other medical alarm companies and Rescue Alert beats them all. In addition to regularly low prices, we are offering special low rates on all of our rental options including an annual rental plan for only $19.95 a month, quarterly rentals for $21.95 a month, and monthly rentals for $27.95.
And, if you still need a reason to order Rescue Alert, consider our 30-day money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the service you receive, we will provide you with a full refund. Visit our website for more information about the Rescue Alert system and our current pricing plans.

Encourage Aging Loved Ones to Use Rescue Alert
Sometimes after purchasing a personal emergency response system (PERS) device, your aging parent or loved one may refuse to use the product or wear the panic button bracelet or necklace. Whether the subscriber has recently experienced a heart attack, stroke or has falling tendencies, it can be difficult to convince him or her that an emergency alert system is beneficial. If you’re having trouble convincing your aging parent or loved to use Rescue Alert, consider the following ideas:
Clear communication goes a long way. Communicate to your aging parent or loved one that the medical alert device is not a punishment. Explain that Rescue Alert is a tool that will allow him or her to live independently for longer. In addition, make sure to discuss — loud and clear–the alternatives to elderly care: a full-time caregiver, an assisted living facility or moving in with a relative.
According to Caring.com, another approach is to speak realistically about your loved one is medically fragile and at a greater risk for medical emergencies. For example, another stroke or heart attack while in the shower can cause him or her to fall. If he or she is unable to get up, pressing the panic button will summon help. Although it is important to point out fragility, make sure to highlight strengths including the ability to live alone.
Purchase the Best Medical Alarm System
Purchasing a personal emergency response system (PERS) can be an overwhelming task. With such a variety of medical alert bracelets available on the market today, it is difficult to select the best device for your aging parent or loved one. Here are a few things to consider when comparing products and services.
When comparing various PERS companies, make sure to look for product and service warranties. For example, Rescue Alert offers a 30-day risk-free guarantee. In addition, look for special offers, readily available customer service and simple pricing plans. To make this process as simple as possible, we offer an easy-to-read comparison chart on our Web site. Compare services, prices and special features (such as medical bracelets, lock boxes, medication boxes etc.) online.
You should also watch out for red flags. For example, keep an eye out for hard-sell tactics such as rude or pushy salespeople who insist on selling the product in person at your home or office. In addition, watch out for customer service reps who decline to answer questions or provide company information over the phone. Finally, when comparing medical alarm systems, avoid complex pricing plans; you may get hit with unwanted fees or contracts.
Benefit from Medical Emergency Alarm Monitoring
Rescue Alert’s medical monitoring system is a state-of-the-art home device that connects you or a loved one to a 24-hour response center with the push of a button. Although most emergency response systems are ideal for senior citizens, there are many other people who can benefit from such an alarm system. Here is a quick look at just some of the people who can benefit from owning or renting Rescue Alert.
Rescue Alert medical alerts are ideal for parents who are at risk for falling or having a heart attack. Rescue Alert is also great for non-English speaking people, the physically disabled, people with poor motor or dexterity skills, those recuperating after surgery and healing after injury, people living alone and people living with other illnesses. Rescue Alert is also ideal for people who need medication reminders or constant reassurance that a live person can be reached at any time.
Although Rescue Alert’s medical alarm system is a reliable product for a wide range of people, we don’t recommend it as a solution for parents or loved ones with advanced dementia or people who may not know how to push the panic button in an emergency. For more information about how Rescue Alert can help you, please contact us today.
Mobile Health Market Expected To Grow
Mobile Health is expected to grow over the next five years at a 25 percent compound annual growth rate, according to a new report released by CSMG, the strategy division of consulting firm TMNG Global.

According to the press release, mHealth (including personal emergency response services such as Rescue Alert’s medical alert system) “is well positioned to address the needs and evolution of the U.S. health care delivery because it provides cost-efficient care delivery and increases access to quality health care.”
Personal emergency response services such as Rescue Alert medical alarms are just one of many technology opportunities that comprise the mHealth market. Other opportunities include telemedicine, mobile medical equipment, mobile health information, RFID tracking and health/fitness software.
