- Wear The Pendant Or Wristband
To ensure protection at all times, you need to keep the Life Assure pendant or bracelet on. These comfortable devices are designed for daily use, enabling seniors to move around the house with ease. The device is always conveniently within reach, whether worn on the neck like a pendant or on the wrist like a watch.
Many older adults prefer the wristband because it is less noticeable, while others opt for the pendant for easy access. The key is always to keep it on, even when sleeping, bathing, or outside, as an emergency can happen at any time.
Since Life Assure home medical alert devices for seniors are water-resistant, they can be safely worn in the shower—a common place where falls occur. When seniors make wearing the device part of their daily routine, they ensure that help is just a button press away, providing them with constant protection and reassurance.
- Press The Button In An Emergency
During an emergency, after a fall, chest pain, dizziness, or any other condition that needs assistance, the user simply presses the button on their Life Assure pendant or wristband. While it’s large enough to press the button easily, it will be quick to activate even when disoriented or in pain.
Similarly, the system is easy to use, requiring no remembering of steps or settings. When the button is pressed, a message is sent to the Life Assure base unit for assistance. This feature, which can be activated with just one touch, is essential because you won’t need to pull out your phone or remember numbers.
- Signal Is Sent To The Base Unit
After pressing the button, the Life Assure base unit receives an instantaneous wireless signal. The Life Assure base unit serves as the main communications centre of the system. Usually, to make the connectivity efficient, the base of the units is kept centrally in the house. The system’s two-way communication link is activated by sending the signal in a matter of seconds using sophisticated wireless technology.
Depending on the model, the connection will either use a landline or the cellular network, allowing help to be reached even if phone lines are down. Seniors can call for help even if they are in another room or outside, thanks to the system’s extensive coverage.
- Connects to a 24/7 monitoring Center
Once the signal is received, the base unit connects automatically to Life Assure’s 24-hour monitoring centre. This center has professionally trained operators on duty 24/7 to handle medical emergencies.
The connection occurs almost instantaneously, allowing the operator to start talking through the speaker and microphones in the base unit with the senior. Life Assure consists of real people you can talk to, day or night, at any time.
- Speak to the Operator
After activation, senior citizens can use the two-way voice system to speak with a Life Assure operator. The operator will take their time to determine what’s going on. They will ask some simple questions to help do so. The microphone is powerful enough to ensure that the senior’s voice is detected even if the senior falls or cannot reach the base unit. The user may be unable to speak, possibly due to an injury or medical condition.
Thus, the operator follows protocol and sends help to the home. The operators are trained not only in emergency response but also in reassurance and comfort during difficult times. This human interaction is often equally important as the technical response, as it helps calm the senior and keeps them reassured until help arrives.
- Follow Operator Instructions Until Help Arrives
The operator analyzes and provides instructions to ensure the senior remains safe until responders arrive. Depending on the nature of the emergency, they may instruct you to stay still, breathe slowly, or unlock the door to get help.
In addition, the operator may call the family, neighbors, or caregivers to inform them if necessary. Life Assure’s system ensures that the user is never left alone in an emergency, as operators remain on the line continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They will continue to monitor the situation until help physically arrives on scene.
Wrapping Up
As scary and unpredictable as an emergency can be, with Life Assure Home Medical Alert, seniors know they can get help at the push of a button. Their simple yet effective design ensures that the wearer can activate the system by simply wearing either the pendant or wristband and pressing the button.
After transmitting the emergency signal, the system connects with the monitoring centre and establishes two-way communication with the operator. Finally, the operator gives the necessary instructions, and help is mobilized faster, efficiently, and in a coordinated manner.
