Fall Button For Elderly People

Medical alert devices allow the wearer to instantly connect to a 24/7 monitoring center with one press of a button; but what happens if someone falls and can no longer press their own device's button?

Fall detection provides the solution. Discover its mechanisms and whether its added cost justifies protection of those you care for.

Detects falls





Falls are a serious and often tragic issue for senior adults. Falls can result in injuries and ultimately reduce quality of life. Fall detection devices can help safeguard against some of these outcomes from happening.

Medical alert systems equipped with fall detection features allow seniors to press their help button if they fall and a monitoring service will send a response team directly to their home to assess the situation. They can also notify any pre-established emergency contacts as necessary.

Some systems utilize GPS technology to pinpoint an individual's location if they are unable to press their help button. Others utilize a waterproof mobile pendant that can be worn while bathing or showering - where most falls occur - clipped to their belt loop or purse for easy carry along. Most of these systems are easy for loved ones to understand without becoming intimidating.

Notifies family members

Contrary to smartphones which require users to press a help button in order to detect falls, medical alert systems with fall detection can detect falls without the wearer having to push any buttons at all. Instead, their pendant detects changes in air pressure, movement, or impact from falls and sends an emergency call out directly or to any nominated family contacts or SureSafe operator (if subscribed).

Minutes count when it comes to falls. Help your loved ones receive immediate medical assistance after experiencing an incident and help prevent complications like unconsciousness and hypothermia from occurring.

Family members often opt to buy their loved one a mobile medical alert device that uses GPS tracking technology so they can monitor them from wherever they are - giving peace of mind knowing their relative is safe at home, as well as serving as a reminder for taking daily medications.

Calls for help

Dependent upon the alarm system chosen, SureSafe personal and family monitored alarms either connect directly with our Response Centre, or automatically notify nominated contacts who can answer and help get up. This eliminates searching for your mobile phone or pressing unfamiliar keys when falling and experiencing pain or unconsciousness.

Some elderly fall alarms offer automatic fall detection, eliminating the need to press an SOS button every time an accidental fall occurs. This feature may be beneficial to those suffering from unconscious falls who cannot always push their SOS button immediately upon hitting the floor. Call us to determine whether auto fall detection would be best suited for your loved one - as quickly getting help after an incident reduces risks such as severe bruising, hypothermia due to cold or even death!

Saves lives

Medical Alert devices, also known as life-alert systems, can provide seniors with immediate assistance if they fall. Some devices come equipped with automatic fall detection that is designed to detect falls even if the senior cannot press their call button; should an emergency arise, these devices will send out an emergency alert that connects with emergency services immediately.

An elderly fall can be frightening and can have severe repercussions, providing valuable peace of mind to family members and providing valuable protection for seniors themselves. A wearable device equipped with fall detection features could save lives while offering families peace of mind.
