Are you or a loved one at high risk for falling? Falling is one of the most common issues that sends older adults to the emergency room, and many falls result in serious injuries and even death. Based on the chances of it happening, it can be extremely beneficial to have a personal emergency response system in place.

Personal emergency response systems supplied by Knute Nelson allow anyone to call emergency services in case of a fall, sudden issue, or more. They provide an immediate response if a problem occurs, no matter when or where it may happen.

These personal emergency pendants operate on a 4G AT&T network for dependable coverage and feature real-time GPS tracking, fall detection, an SOS alarm button, a two-way voice connection, and 24-7 monitoring/response, and a client-directed calling tree.

Using your personal emergency response system is easy:

• Simply press the big red button when you need help
• Your emergency contact information is sent to our emergency response center, and a trained emergency operation will promptly and securely contact you through your device
• The operator will make a determination about what response is needed
• The operator coordinates care with the appropriate responder based on specific needs, with that responder possibly including a trained and certified emergency services caregiver, a family member, or even a trusted, preselected, and notified neighbor.
