Emergency Home Monitoring Systems
Many older people fear falling and sustaining an injury, becoming ill overnight, isolation, and intruders. These worries are often very valid. An Emergency Home Response System can provide the security and comfort of knowing that if a fall occurs, or security becomes an issue, help is just a push button away. A Home Emergency Response System is a monitored electronic communication system designed to enable seniors and the disabled to continue living in their own home while providing prompt access to emergency services if ever necessary. With the touch of a button on the communication device, a prearranged system is activated to respond to the senior's urgent needs. The device puts the senior in touch with a live person who finds out what type of assistance the senior needs. The monitoring person on the other end calls friends, family, or neighbors who will go to the senior's home to assist him or her. The monitoring person can also call 911 for ambulance, police or fire. The Texas Department of State Health Services can provide a list of providers that are licensed by the state of Texas to sell and install the system.
