“WHY PAY FOR MEDICAL ALERT MONITORING SERVICE?”

July 15, 2009

Monthly Service Fee: Value or No Need?

“WHY PAY FOR MEDICAL ALERT MONITORING SERVICE?” Good question, one I hear often, particularly now during troubled economic times, when family budgets are tighter then ever! 24/7 service, is just that, 24 hours a-day-seven-days-a–week, weekends, holidays, every single day rain or shine, a licensed dispatch operator is on the other end of the communication line, ready to professionally handle an incoming call, a calm operator assessing the emergency, assuring the caller that help will be on the way, dispatching local responders, all simultaneous efforts while maintaining communication with the caller until help arrives. I ask you, “If, your mother called you in the middle of the night, panicked, clearly upset, suddenly sick, and frightened, would you be able to: wake up quickly, and in a coherent calm manner manage the situation, provide reassurance, then call local responders for assistance?” Or, “Would you, race around the house, looking for your car keys, your eye glasses, head out the door ready to save the day in your pj‘s?” Seriously, what would happen if the call came, a call generated by a medical alert device directly to your mobile phone and you were in the middle of a meeting, unable to readily answer the call? Or, perhaps the call would come while you and the family are at a sporting event, on vacation, or the call finds you stuck smack in the middle of the biggest traffic mess this side of the Mississippi? Wouldn’t you feel better knowing that for less than $1.00 per day, responders will be alerted to render aid when needed? Clock ticks, seconds’ count, not a moment to spare, makes sense to have calls for help handled by those that can quickly and efficiently alert emergency medical responders. I would think that if you were contemplating cutting back on personal spending, you could consider: enjoying meals at home with family and friends, rent your favorite DVD, or utilize public transportation once or twice a week; there has to be a way to justify the expense for peace of mind for loved ones, don’t you think? Monitoring service might just turn out to be well worth the investment! BDP Medical Alert Services: $99.95 activation fee, $13.95/month, no term contracts.
