Mobile Medical Alert vs. Caregiver Pager: Which Should You Buy?
Compare a monitored mobile medical alert with a no-monthly-fee caregiver pager, and learn which fits a senior's living situation.
The short answer
Choose a monitored mobile medical alert when the senior lives alone or goes out — it connects to a 24/7 response center that can dispatch help anywhere. Choose a no-fee caregiver pager only when someone is usually home: it alerts that caregiver, but does not call 911.
