With so many different options on the market, how do you pick the best medical alert system for you? Whether you’re caring for a senior or elderly, including a parent, friend or family member, or just looking to find a safety alarm device for yourself, it’s important to go down the right path to selecting a medical alert device that will fit an active lifestyle for seniors. Living life as a senior citizen should be relaxing as retirement settles in, enjoying the finest things in life with time to be with the grand children, spend time with friends, and a much-deserved relaxation.

Watch Mark’s video speak about the different options when comparing the best medical alert system services, providers, and companies on the market. Keep an eye out for price, features, range of the unit, fall detection, free or paid setup and activation and other important items when ordering a new medical alarm system.

So you’ve done all of your research and you are still asking the question — what is the best medical alert system? You might as well ask what the best color is because you will get a different answer from each person you ask. Here at MedicalAlertComparison.com, we have attempted to answer that daunting question in our medical alert reviews section. You should read our full reviews, but here are some companies that we like.

Medical Guardian is a company we like a lot. It is relatively new, beginning business in 2005, which means it is not bogged down in the old ways and is on the cutting edge of technology. From no start-up costs to no contract to a second button to monitor a spouse, Medical Guardian offers one of the best medical alert devices you can buy.

We are big fans of Phillips Lifeline because it offers an option that no one else does — fall detection. With this feature, the monitoring center is automatically called if your emergency pendant detects a fall. Now, most companies do not offer this because they feel the technology is unreliable, but Phillips disagrees. There is a reason Phillips is a leader in the industry, and its fall detector makes it one of the best medical alarm systems out there.

MediPendant has a feature that virtually no other company offers — the opportunity to communicate with the monitoring center directly through your medical alert pendant. With most companies, you have to talk to and hear the monitor through the base unit. If you are in another room, that could prove difficult. MediPendant’s emergency button has a microphone and speaker built right into it for easy communication.

Another nominee for best medic alert system has to be Mobile Help. MobileHelp is the only company that uses GPS to allow you to use your medical alarm system anywhere. No longer are you tethered to the base unit in your house. A GPS device is built into a small mobile unit (about the size of a deck of playing cards) that you carry around with you, so if you press the button, you can speak to the monitor who will know exactly where you are and dispatch the nearest ambulance, if necessary. The other positive with MobileHelp is that you do not need a telephone to use it. So many companies require the type traditional landline that millions of people have ditched years ago. Not with MobileHelp.

You can’t go wrong with an ADT Medical Alert, one of the largest alarm companies in the nation. It can integrate one of the best medical alert systems into a comprehensive system that monitors for fire, smoke and burglars, so you will always have complete protection.

These are just a few of the medical alarm systems that we have reviewed at Medical Alert Comparison. They are all very good at providing 24 hours a day, seven days a week monitoring of the best medical alert devices available on the market today. The companies listed above are the ones that we think offer something a little bit different than everyone else. Again, read our official 2013 Medical Alarm Reviews for great offer, and find all of the pros and cons of each service.
