What are some things that make Rescue Alert of Dixie different from their competitors?

Some of Rescue Alert’s competitors will only call 911 every time the button is pushed. Some have buttons that do not work outside of the home. Some have buttons that are not waterproof. Some never test their buttons with you; the only time you will know if it works is when you actually need some help, leaving you to trust that the button is charged and will connect to the response center.

Some companies’ response centers may not be in the U.S., so you may not be able to understand the person on the other end of the line when you are in need of help. Many response centers are not certified, and some companies purchase their units from overseas.

Here are a few examples of calls for help that Rescue Alert of Dixie response centers received in the past week:
