A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is a device or system that helps individuals, particularly the elderly or disabled, summon help in case of an emergency. The device is usually a wearable pendant or wristband, which the user can activate in case of a fall or other emergency.
When the button is pressed, the PERS device sends a signal to a base station located in the user's home, which then automatically calls a monitoring center or a designated emergency contact. The monitoring center will then assess the situation and take appropriate action, which may include calling emergency services or contacting a family member or caregiver.
PERS devices have been around for decades and have helped countless people in emergency situations. They are particularly useful for seniors and individuals with disabilities who may be at risk of falls or other emergencies. PERS devices provide peace of mind, allowing individuals to remain in their homes for longer periods of time and providing a sense of independence.
There are several types of PERS devices available, including traditional landline-based systems and newer cellular-based systems. Traditional landline-based systems require a landline phone connection and can be less expensive, but they may not work during power outages. Cellular-based systems use a cellular network and are more expensive, but they can be used anywhere with cellular coverage and are more reliable during power outages.
If you're considering purchasing a PERS device, it's important to do your research and choose a system that meets your specific needs. You may want to consult with one of our healthcare professionals or search for online resources to compare different PERS providers and systems.
