Here's how it works: The Medical Alert System is a device like a necklace or a watch that will give you the security of knowing that with the touch of a button you can get assistance in the event of an accident, fall, fire, break-in or any type of Emergency inside or outside of your home.

So if you slip and fall in the shower in your bathroom, you can press your shower-safe medical alert button and get help right away.

The very good thing here is if you have an active checking account, credit card or debit card, you can get the equipment for FREE, all you would need to pay for is the cost of the monthly monitoring, which is less than a dollar a day.
