Considering a Personal Emergency Response System for your loved one?  Leaves Personal Care scoured the internet and did the research for you to discover the best options for 2024. Generally, the best medical alert systems for seniors all include features like:

1. 24/7 monitoring

2. GPS tracking

3. Fall detection

4. Water-resistant devices

5. Long battery life

6. Affordable monthly plans

7. Options for home-based and mobile systems

Our three top recommendations based on multiple review sites are:

Bay Alarm Medical – It is praised for its reliability, ultrafast response time and excellent customer service.  Plans start at $24.95/mo and for having a variety of options including in home systems, fall detection and GPS tracking.

Medical Alert – Fall detection is optional on the Medical Alert system but reviewers liked that it had simple set-up and user-friendly systems.  Another plus with the Medical Alert system is that it is recommended by leading hospitals! Plans start at $27.95/mo.

Medical Guardian – The system is more high-tech than some others and was Forbes top pick. They noted that Medical Guardian offers the smallest and lightest mobile devices on the market.  Plans start at $32.95/mo.

No matter what system you choose, there’s no substitute for an in-person visit. We recommend a care companion visits at least twice a week for four hours.  Isolation and loneliness can’t be combatted by Medical Alert systems. We are social creatures and thrive best in relationships. While our care companions enjoy being busy in the home with meal prep, organizing and doing light housekeeping, the real value in our service is the relationship we build with each client.  Most individuals would rather remain home and with assisted living costing an average of $4,200 – $5,900 per month, having a visiting companion is a much more economical and personalized option.
