They claim to monitor any kind of emergency immediately and directly, and their personal medical alarm system immediately communicates with its Central Station.

The company claims to have the safest and most effective personal medical alarm system.
Again, American Medical Alarms Lists the Testimonies of Its Costumers, Both Without and Then with, a Personal Medical Alarm System. in Some Cases, during and after the Emergency, There Was Nobody on Call and No Response.

In Some Cases When Someone is Not Able to Get to a Phone, This Personal Medical Alarm System Alertes Its Monitoring Station by Just a Push of a Button.

This personal medical alarm system is unobtrusive for the wearer, available as a pendant which can be worn around the neck, or as a wrist band. Both are water proof, so they can be worn while taking a shower or a bath, where a lot of accidents or falls occur.

The button activation goes into effect within 45 seconds, alerting the central monitoring station, where the wearer can have a conversation with the representative through a main console inside your home.

You can then instruct the technician as to the type of help you need, and whom you wish them to notify, be it emergency rescue or simply a friend or a relative. If the representative doesn't hear a voice at the other end of the line, he or she will immediately contact the paramedics, rightly assuming that it's an emergency.

You might wonder if you need to be within close range of the main console for the technicians to hear you.

The system boasts of a computer which functions acoustically. So you may be heard from every room inside your home.

The company still emphasizes that even if you are close to the console, you might not be heard if you are unable to speak, in case of a severe fall, or a stroke, or if you are choking. Again, paramedics will be instantly dispatched.

As far as coverage, the company doesn't deal directly with your Medicare policy or your insurance company. You have to take care of this yourself, and after that is cleared then you are reimbursed for expenses paid.

The system also works outside your home. The company guarantees a range from two to 300 feet, whether you're taking a short walk, or gardening, or go out to get the mail. They will not be able to hear you, but the system will signal them if you have an emergency.

Apartment buildings or condos are a different ball of wax altogether because of their construction, so it behooves you to check the range yourself before you purchase. The company offers a ten-day free trial for their equipment.

Should there be a power outage, the system has a back up battery which can maintain the unit working for 18 hours, after which, once the electricity is restored, the battery automatically recharges itself.

Finally, if you have a life-threatening emergency which requires that an emergency rescue team enter your home and they are unable to do so, the system notifies a family member or neighbor with keys and access to your home.

Another option is letting the company know of a place where you might hide a second key for easy access.

You may view the sizes of both the main console, which is pretty much like a regular phone, and can be placed on any table or counter top. The pendant is very light, and can also be viewed on the website. It is very easy to use as well, as it doesn't require any force to activate it. You need to push it firmly, however, to avoid any activation which is not legitimate.
