Questions About Medical Alerts? We’ve Got Answers
Over the last few years, mobile emergency alert product have entered the market. Some better than others.
EMC Security’s mobile alert pendant, powered by Belle, is one of the best. One of the main reasons is because of the Emergency Response Team on the other end of the button.
EMC Security’s Emergency Call Centers are located in 2 different cities in the US. The alert signal is transferred from the pendant to the call centers simultaneously, so if one station is down or fails for a weather situation or other emergency, the other station will retrieve the signal with no time lapse.
Once the button is pressed, and an operator answers the call, they will remain on the call with the user until help arrives or the situation is resolved. This is very reassuring for people that could be in a frightening situation.
People often ask, is there a limit on how many times I can push it to get help? The answer is No. We want all our emergency alert customers to feel at peace, knowing whenever they need help, no matter the situation, they can get help – period. This is important to us, because it’s important to our customers.
