Medical Alert System Provider Rescue Alert of Californiaâ„¢ Saves Another Senior, Leads to Quick Recovery

Medical alert system provider Rescue Alert of California'sâ„¢ trained call center saved the life of another senior recently. The senior fell in the shower and was saved from dangerous injuries.

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (prHWY.com) January 2, 2013 - Medical alert provider Rescue Alert of Californiaâ„¢ has released a statement from their call center reporting another life saved by a medical alert system. The subscriber had fallen in the shower, and while he pressed hiswater-proof medical alert button, he was unable to speak to the emergency call center.

Every no-contact situation is considered an emergency as a precaution, which is why emergency responders were immediately sent out to this particular subscriber's home. The paramedics broke down the door, and were able to provide the individual with immediate care, leading him to a quick recovery from a head injury that could have been worse.

"The call center and the paramedics were both instrumental in getting to the subscriber's home quickly, and getting him the care he needed right away" said Lindsey Brewster of Rescue Alert of Californiaâ„¢. "In addition to medical alert systems, we offer lockboxes for subscriber's front doors that house a spare key, for just this type of situation. In this case, the paramedics were forced to use an axe to gain entry, which a lockbox with a code accessible by the paramedics could help to avoid."

Medical alert systems, reports the Rescue Alert of Californiaâ„¢ website, are a great tool for showers and baths, as seniors are often more prone to falling in the bathroom than anywhere else. The National Institute on Aging says 80% of falls experienced by seniors ocurr in this room of the home, and having a water-proof medical alert button around a seniors neck could be the difference between life and death for seniors like the subscriber in this statement from the call center.
