Option to Age at Home: Personal Emergency Response System

For seniors who maintain a certain level of independence, simple monitoring and installations around the home may be all that is necessary to promote a safe, independent lifestyle.

Personal Emergency Response System (PERS)

• The most simple, easy to use monitoring system on the market.

• Sold by most home care companies, including Live Free Home Health Care

• Installs easily.

• Comes with a pendant or bracelet activated when pushed or when someone falls.

When shopping for a PERS, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) encourages the shopper to:

• Check out several systems before making a decision.

• Find out if the system can be used with other response centers. For example, can the same system be used if moving to another residence?

• Ask about the pricing, features, and servicing of each system and compare costs.

• Make sure the system is easy to use.

• Test the system to make sure it works from every point in and around the home. Make sure nothing interferes with transmissions.

• Read the purchase, rental, or lease agreement carefully before signing.
