Each pendant costs an additional $2.99 per month. Medical Guardian offers four styles: gold and black, turquoise and silver, gold and pearl, and silver and black. Style-conscious seniors will be pleased to have a decorative encasement for their in-home help button. Fall detection can save a life.Īt only $2.99 per month, this add-on is perfect for a spouse or other older family member. At $10 per month, we think this investment is well worth it. If you only choose one extra, this is the one we’d recommend. If interested in an all-in-one device including fall detection, the Mini Guardian by Medical Guardian may be more your style. That said, we did find that the fall detection pendant is a decent replacement for the at-home wearable buttons (it does include an emergency button). Again, this is not unusual many other medical alert systems also charge an extra monthly fee for the benefit of fall detection.īut with Medical Guardian, you’ll need to wear an additional pendant for fall detection, as it’s not built into the Mobile 2.0 alert device. Fall detection can be included in the system for an additional monthly fee of $10. This is alarming for obvious reasons.Īt Medical Guardian, fall detection is considered an add-on, which is actually pretty standard for the industry. One study demonstrated that among older adults with medical alert systems that don’t include fall detection, only 50% press their emergency button. Here at, we believe that a great cloak of protection is the use of fall detection technology.
Overall, we love the flexibility this system provides! We do think it’s important to wear the help buttons as well as the Mobile 2.0, although we think you’ll get a better feel of what works best for you while using the system. Because the Mobile 2.0 is so easily portable, using it in conjunction with the wearable buttons while traveling would also be a breeze. This might come in handy if you’re outside gardening in the backyard, or talking to a neighbor in the drive. Remember, the wearable buttons will connect with the Mobile 2.0 anywhere within a 500-foot radius of it. Because the Mobile 2.0 uses a 4G cellular system, you can travel anywhere with it you please. We’re big fans of two-way talk, so this is something to keep in mind.įinally, you may be curious about the range of the devices. With the Mobile 2.0, however, you can speak with the monitoring center directly through the unit. If an emergency were to occur while wearing the bracelet or neck pendant help button, emergency services and your care circle would be contacted, but you would not be able to speak directly to an emergency response center associate. On the other hand, one thing that the Mobile 2.0 has that the wearable buttons do not is two-way talk. If you accidentally press the button, simply wait for the emergency response center associate to connect and tell them that it was a false alarm.

Pro Tip: Once the emergency button has been pressed, it cannot be cancelled.
