    Device helps the elderly and others receive quick medical assistance

    Remember! Response Time Saves Lives!

    April 16, 2010 - Lafayette, LA - Are you worried about your loved ones being home alone? What if your elderly parent falls? What if your disabled child starts choking? You can now have peace of mind knowing that those you care about most have a way of accessing immediate health care with just a push of a button.

    Acadian Monitoring Services, a division of Acadian Companies, provides a Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) that allows people to signal for assistance in the event of an emergency when they cannot get to a phone. While anyone can use the alert system, they are typically used by seniors living independently in their own homes, individuals with physical limitations, patients recovering from hospital stays, or people going through rehabilitation. Subscribers wear the pendant around the neck, on the wrist, or as a belt clip.  The device is also water resistant so that it can be worn at all times, even while in the shower or tub.

    Acadian's medical alert pendant provides access to help around the clock, seven days a week. In the event of a medical emergency, accident, fire, burglary, etc., the medical alert system provides you and your family members with continuous emergency medical monitoring. Director of Marketing and Sales Randall Mann says, "We believe in providing exceptional care, independence and peace of mind at an affordable price. With Acadian there are no upfront fees, no equipment to buy, no activation fee, no cancellation fees and no long-term contract to sign."

    In fact, the low monthly monitoring fee at Acadian is one of the lowest in the industry. Since the inception of the program, Acadian's Medical Alert Monitoring Center has received more than 550,000 emergency and non-emergency calls for help each month.  Medical dispatchers jump into action the second a call for help is received. Instant text and email messages are sent to friends or family members on a contact list that you provide to Acadian.

    Acadian Medical Alert Systems is recognized as the industry leader and are recommended by doctors, hospitals, home health care providers, agencies on aging, geriatric care managers, social workers and patients across the country. For almost 40 years, Acadian has been providing security and peace of mind to seniors and their families with fast, compassionate care from specially trained emergency medical personnel.
