Yes. Most professionally monitored medical alert systems allow designated family members, caregivers, neighbors, or other emergency contacts to be notified according to your personalized emergency response plan.
When setting up your account, you'll typically have the opportunity to identify who should be contacted during different types of emergencies. Depending on the situation, monitoring specialists may notify your designated contacts while also coordinating emergency medical services if necessary.
For example, if you experience a minor fall and simply need someone to help you get up safely, your preferred emergency contact may be notified first. If the situation appears to be life-threatening, emergency responders may be dispatched immediately while your family members are informed of the situation.
Keeping emergency contact information current is extremely important. If family members move, change phone numbers, or if your preferred emergency contacts change, updating your account helps ensure monitoring specialists can reach the right people without unnecessary delays.
