Rescue Alert of Dixie, Providing Independence and Peace of Mind

Rescue Alert of Dixie, Providing Independence and Peace of Mind

September 02, 20243 min read

You may ask, “What can Rescue Alert of Dixie do for me or my loved one?” First, they help provide independence. They help you to continue to live where you want to live and do the things you like to do.

Second, they provide peace of mind for those who wear the alert button and for those who care about them. Third, they provide a variety of services to meet your needs that are customizable to your situation. They have in and around the home systems, mobile systems with GPS that work everywhere, fall detection options, and monitored medication dispensers. 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.

  • Richard fell and was unsure of his injuries. He was breathing but had a cut on his hand. Instructions were given on how to control the bleeding. Cindy (his daughter) was called to help. Once on the scene, she requested additional help. EMS responded, assisted, and cleared.
