Personal Emergency Response System (PERS)
Keep your senior loved ones safe with West Michigan’s #1 medical alert system

Do You Worry About Your Loved One’s Safety When You Can’t Be There?

Unfortunately, we can’t always be around to monitor our loved ones as they age. According to the CDC, three million older adults are treated in the emergency room (ER) for fall-related injuries every year, and falling once doubles the chances of falling again. Do you have a plan to get help if something happens when no one else is home?

Peace of Mind with a PERS

Help is just one click away with a Personal Emergency Response System (PERS). Push the button on the pendant to connect with trained, caring medical staff at Life EMS’s emergency call Control Center. Medically trained personnel including EMTs and Paramedics are standing by to get your loved one the help they need. Thousands of Michigan residents have regained their confidence, extended their independence, and restored peace of mind using our PERS.
