Factors to Consider
The system provides two-way communication with the monitoring station, which may allow staff at the monitoring station to talk directly with the user once the alarm has been activated.
Short Description

The system uses a Tunstall Premier 4000 or Premier 1000 receiver, which is positioned beside the existing telephone and is activated by pressing a button on a water resistant pendant, wrist band, clothing clip or on the unit itself. Other triggers are available for people with special needs. Silver Circle Home Alert also provides reminder and companion calls, a fall detector, a movement monitor and a smoke detector as separate services.
