Follow on Google News | Personal Emergency Response Companies Take Flight in 2010, as 911 Systems FailWith Headlines throughout the US telling the same troubling story - "Budget Cuts Reduce 911 Response Time," or "Human Error Leads to 19 Hour 911 Delay" - health care experts agree: 911 systems are in a state of emergency.
By: Chris Kemp Cataldo found Medics SOS and has been very happy with their service, especially during an incident in which her father, Pete Gentile, fell to the floor inside his Stamford apartment and, because of his injuries, could not sit up or even crawl to his house phone to call 911. However, with the simple push of a button on his medical alert write band, a Medics SOS dispatcher was alerted, a local ambulance arrived within minutes along with Gentiles medical profile. And during the two minutes it took the ambulance to arrive, Gentile received reassurances from the Medics SOS dispatcher, who spoke with him through a loudspeaker activated by his wrist band. The Medics SOS dispatcher kept Gentile calm until emergency personnel arrived on the scene less than 3 minutes later. "If you have an elderly loved one or someone who is bed-ridden and can’t get to a regular phone to dial 911, the MedicsSOS emergency button gives me and my family peace of mind that my father will be cared for if he has another health related emergency.” Cataldo said. Cataldo is one of a growing number of residents throughout the country who believe private medical alert systems are more reliable than traditional 911 emergency care. They no longer trust 911 to care for their loved ones in an emergency.
