The best system depends on the senior's needs. In-home systems work for those who rarely leave home. Mobile GPS systems are better for active seniors. Key features to compare: fall detection, two-way communication, battery life, and monthly monitoring cost.
Medical alert systems in New England typically cost $20-50 per month for monitoring. In-home landline systems are cheapest ($20-30/mo), while mobile GPS systems with fall detection run $35-50/mo. Most providers charge a one-time equipment fee of $50-100 or offer free equipment with a contract.
Original Medicare does not cover medical alert systems. However, some Medicare Advantage plans include personal emergency response systems as a supplemental benefit. Medicaid waiver programs in some New England states may also cover medical alert devices for qualifying seniors.
