LifeStation
"The Medical Alert System That Is Easy And Affordable"
The LifeStation medical alert system may be what you are looking for to watch over your elderly loved ones or for
anyone that lives alone. Older people are more susceptible to falls and more prone to suffer injury from a
fall.
When they live alone they can be trapped for hours or days until help arrives. That is why medical alert systems
have become so popular. You can wear the alarm around your neck or on your wrist so all you have to do is push a
button and help will be on the way.
The Lifestation system is simple to set up. All you have to do is plug the equipment in and it is ready to go.
You must register your system so the call center knows your preferred list of contact people, phone number and
address. That way if your alarm is activated but you can't speak, they can send help automatically since your
information is on file.
The personal alarm is shatterproof and waterproof so there is no need to remove it when bathing. Since so many
falls occur in the tub, it is a good idea to always leave the personal alarm on. You can also choose to wear it
like a watch and just leave it on all the time. The LifeStation alert will operate in a range of 400 feet away
from the home base. When you first receive the unit you should test in various locations around your home and
yard to verify the active radius.
The LifeStation has a back-up lithium battery with a lifespan of four years that will operate for up to 32
hours during a power failure. You can also call for help by using the base unit itself. It has a large circle
in the center of the unit you can press and you will be immediately connected to the call center. If you hit
the button by mistake you can simply hit the "clear" button and your call will be canceled.
When you call for help, You Get Help 24/7 with a push of a medical alert button for seniors living home alone.
Your call will be answered by a live person who has your personal information readily available based upon your
telephone number. If you can speak, he will assess your situation and call for appropriate help. If you cannot
speak, he will send help according to what you have previously specified, either a contact person or EMS. The
specialists at LifeStation undergo extensive training so they know how to deal with any emergencies you may
encounter while home alone.
Pros
Not bad for a company that doesn't charge equipment or set-up charge. Another great benefit is that you don't have
to have long term contract. No more worries about your unit or console not working, they do an automatic weekly
test of your console straight from their central monitoring station. Of course, if you have any questions,
their technical support is open 24/7.
Cons
Pill reminder and fall detector would have come in handy.
