Do You Qualify For A Free Medical Alert Device?
You may qualify for a FREE Medical Alert Device and this post explains WHY you may want one
A new program has rolled out that helps Americans over the age of 50 get a Medical Alert Device for free.
The big question is "Could you benefit from one?"
This post will answer that.
What Is A Medical Alert Device?
Medical Alert Devices are small pendants you wear around your neck or on your waistband that, with the single press of a button, connect you with a trained specialist who can help you in your moment of need.
Every day thousands of people use their Medical Alert Devices to:
- Get help in seconds
- Preserve their independence
They are the simplest way to ensure you get the help you need AND demonstrate that you're still capable of living on your own.
But Who Actually Needs A Medical Alert Device?
Many Americans have heard of a Medical Alert Device and believe they’re only for the oldest and frailest out there.
But that couldn't be more wrong.
Anyone with the following qualifying conditions would greatly benefit from getting a Medical Alert Device!
Qualifier #1: You Take Prescription Medications
Millions of seniors take prescription medications to help them with ailments like:
- High Blood Pressure
- Dementia
- Anxiety
These medications help you control the issues with your health conditions but they also have a lot of side effects:
- Lightheadedness
- Blood pressure changes
- Fainting
- Loss of consciousness
- Heart attacks
These side effects often cause falls (and sometimes even put you into shock) which makes reaching the phone to call for help almost impossible.
That’s why so many doctors recommend Medical Alert Devices to their patients who they put on prescription medications.

Qualifier #2: You Utilize A Walker / Cane:
Americans who utilize devices to assist them with walking do so because they don’t want to be “bed bound.”
This is great (because reduced movement usually leads to more serious health issues)...but it also comes with increased risk of falls.
That's why you see so many people who use canes or walkers have Medical Alert Devices around their necks.
It allows them to get help WHEREVER they are and WHENEVER they need it.

Qualifier #3: You Live Alone
Many who live independently LOVE the fact they live alone and would do anything to maintain their independence.
Unfortunately, many don’t have a plan of what to do in the event of a fall.
Their plan is to pick up the phone and call 911 or their family…but most falls don’t make this possible.
They often happen at night or cause injuries that make reaching the phone nearly impossible.
That's why it's important to have a way to get help that is attached to you at all times.

Qualifier #4: You Suffer From Knee And / Or Back Pain
Knee and back pain are some of the most dreaded ailments anyone can have as they age due to the sheer discomfort they bring.
But another unfortunate impact of knee and back pain is that they increase the likelihood of you falling.
A sudden flare up mid-step often results in crashing to the ground in agony and, oftentimes, results in worse injuries.
That’s why you need a simple way of calling for help WHEREVER you are.

Qualifier #5: You Have Vitamin D Deficiency / Bone Issues:
If your doctor is constantly talking to you about your Vitamin D levels and bone deficiencies, it means that your bones are at risk of failing.
And the hard truth about this is that most bone issues occur instantly and without warning.
Simply getting out of bed could cause a vertebra in your spine to collapse rendering you unable to stand or reach the phone for help.
But if you have a Medical Alert Device, you’ll be able to get the help you need and show that a broken back doesn’t equal a broken spirit.
