Emergency Response Systems (ERS) provide a
value time-saving link between people who are alone
or frightened of being alone, and a communications
center. An ERS gives homebound or “at risk” persons
peace of mind in knowing that help is only a
touch-of-a-button away, 24 hours a day.
In an emergency situation, the ERS client
presses a button he or she carries to activate emergency
response contacts.
