Our hospital auxiliary handles a Life-Alert program. My grandma needed to use it. When button is pushed they attempt to call the person. If no answer, they use the contact list to reach family to check on them right away. I was able to get to grandma's within minutes after she had pushed the button (stroke). And a local service will probably be cheaper as they are not running it as a for-profit business. </p> http://www.lawserver.com/forums/topic/medical-alerts-covered-by-medicaid#post-208 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:33:22 +0000 Anonymous 208@http://www.lawserver.com/forums/ <p>Many more states should allow medical alert systems to be covered by medicaid. As the owner of Medfirst Alert, I know how important these medical devices are to senior citizens and those with disabilities. Without them many seniors would not be afforded the luxury of remaining at home and would be forced into assisted living facilities.<br /> [link removed] </p> http://www.lawserver.com/forums/topic/telemergency-no-monthly-fee-system#post-206 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:25:23 +0000 Anonymous 206@http://www.lawserver.com/forums/ <p>Some of these units lock you into a three year contract. These units go to a central station. My Telemergency Medical alert goes directly to 911 and then calls other important numbers. </p> http://www.lawserver.com/forums/topic/medical-alert-system#post-176 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 18:26:20 +0000 Anonymous 176@http://www.lawserver.com/forums/ <p>I would like feedback on the Medical Alert System ( home-based) and Alarm 911 ( GPS) please. </p> http://www.lawserver.com/forums/topic/a-article/page/2#post-152 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 21:17:30 +0000 Anonymous 152@http://www.lawserver.com/forums/ <p>Hey just wanted to say "thanks" for this well prepared review. My 79 yo father just came out from successful surgery to remove a subdural hematoma and is very independently minded. This is a great starting point toward getting some kind of alerting system for him.</p> <p>Thanks again!</p> <p>C. </p> http://www.lawserver.com/forums/topic/test-topic#post-110 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 13:02:54 +0000 steve 110@http://www.lawserver.com/forums/ <p>testing the rss for Steve </p>
