Personal Response System Shopping Advice
From our first system to now, the stories of lives saved by LifeLink’s emergency alert system, also referred to as a personal response system, continues to grow. These stories come from nurses, doctors, the users themselves, and their children and grandchildren. If it is feasible for you to purchase an emergency alert system at a price that is less than a single night’s stay in any major US hotel, then you are making a very wise decision.
If you are unsure whether or not you really need to implement one of our systems, you
should ask yourself the following:
- Is my loved one capable of handling each and every situation they may be faced with at all times of the day?
- Is there someone within a short drive who is available to check on my loved one at least a few times per day?
- If a serious situation arises, will my loved one be able to call for help under all circumstances?
If you’ve answered “no” to any of the above questions, you may wish to seriously consider learning more about the benefits of this great technological device - the LifeLink personal response system.
Pricing and Payback
One of the questions we often get is, based on the purchase price of LifeLink, how does it compare with monthly-fee services?
To answer this, consider the following:
- Most monthly services charge anywhere between $30 and $50 per month.
- Most monthly services charge an initial setup fee that is as high as $250.
- We have had reports from people whose loved one had passed away, yet, monthly fees had continued to be assessed for anywhere from six months to a year after their passing simply because they had neglected to initiate a “stop service” order due to the sheer level of other paperwork that such a situation causes.
- Some monthly services charge a stop fee that can be as high as $250.
So, adding each of these costs up and using conservative figures, over a five year period, the following apply:
- Setup fee of $100
- 60 months of service at $30/month
- 2 months of post-need service charges
- Stop service fee of $100
Therefore, the total fees paid for an emergency alert system over a five-year period would be $2,060 - and, again, that is a conservative estimate. When comparing that figure to a single fee of approximately $200, it is easy to see why LifeLink has become so popular.
Benefits
It is important to understand that, when relying on any personal response system, it would be easy to begin to overestimate the independence level of our elderly loved ones. Please keep in mind that, often times, the health of others is affected by the love and attention they receive on a daily basis. So, an emergency alert system shouldn't replace that love and attention. With that said, when used as part of a holistic care plan, LifeLink will yield a number of benefits. LifeLink:
- Calls family and friends rather than an impersonal monitoring station. This eliminates the “big brother” feel that a monitoring station imparts.
- Allows its users to live independently and safely at home.
- Provides users with enhanced dignity, self-esteem, and increased security.
- Provides everyone involved peace of mind knowing that help will be there every minute of the day.
- Mitigates the long-term health effects of a fall due to quicker response and resolution.
- Reduces the likelihood that your loved one will require institutionalization.
- Defers the need for expensive assisted living or nursing home care.
We thank you for considering the LifeLink personal response system and feel confident that you will receive the peace of mind you need, and your loved one will feel assured that help will be there when they need it.
