Thinking about automatic fall detection? Ask which systems offer it and whether there is an extra charge. No system detects every fall; press the help button whenever you can.
REASSURANCE, WITHOUT THE COMPLICATION
A simple way to stay connected.
Here’s how a monitored medical alert system typically works.
01
Wear your button.
Choose a comfortable pendant or wrist option. Keep it with you, and follow your device’s wearing and charging instructions.
02
Reach out for help.
Press the help button to contact the monitoring center. With an eligible system, fall detection may also trigger an alert.
03
Connect with support.
A monitoring operator assesses the situation and can contact your chosen people or emergency services as appropriate.

MINNESOTA IS HOME
For you. For your family. For more peace of mind.
Shopping for yourself? Helping a parent? We’ll help you think through the questions that matter—where the system will be used, how it feels to wear, and what it costs.
Costs depend on the device, monitoring plan, and optional features. Ask for the total monthly charge, any equipment or activation costs, shipping, and cancellation terms before choosing a plan.
Do I need a landline?
Not always. Some in-home systems use a traditional landline, while others use a cellular connection. Mobile systems also rely on cellular coverage. The right choice depends on the system and coverage where you’ll use it.
Is automatic fall detection included?
Fall detection is an option on some systems and may have an additional fee. It does not detect every fall. Ask about compatible devices and limitations, and press your help button whenever you are able.
Can I get a system for a parent or loved one?
Yes, you can help someone explore options. Include them in the choice whenever possible: comfort, ease of use, daily routines, and charging habits all matter. Ask the provider how emergency contacts are set up.
Will a mobile system work everywhere?
No cellular device works everywhere. Coverage, buildings, and location features can affect performance. Ask the provider to check coverage for the places you visit and explain what happens if a signal is unavailable.
