Perhaps one of the biggest worries for anyone with an aging parent, loved one, neighbor or friend who lives alone or spends long time periods at home alone is that they will fall or hurt themselves and nobody will come to their assistance. A good medical alert system can aid in this situation. A Guardian Alert 911 is a compact, easy to use device that is the size of a small pendant and can be worn around the neck. This medical alert device puts your loved one in touch with a 911 operator immediately.

    In comparison, other medical alert devices such as Lifeline put the person in need of assistance in touch with a call center.   A professional at the call center decides whether to telephone a first responder or emergency services. Lifeline also charges a monthly subscription fee for their device, and Guardian Alert 911 does not.     

Button on Guardian Alert 911 is Recessed

    In order to keep the Guardian Alert 911 from activating accidentally, the button is recessed and the person using it must depress the button for ½ second or more for assistance.  

    The Guardian 911 phone is easier to use than a cordless telephone.  It requires the user to touch only one button, and there is no dialing of the number involved.  The user can speak directly to a 911 emergency operator through the device. It’s easy to set up, and ready to use upon purchase.  A battery that lasts one year is included. There is even the option to purchase a battery back-up for the Guardian Alert 911, in case power is lost.  Guardian Alert 911 comes with a one year warranty.
