Medical Guardian Review

The Classic Guardian is the most cost-efficient medical alert system from Medical Guardian. It costs less than a dollar a day and connects directly to your landline. The Classic Guardian package comes with a base station protected from power outages and a waterproof wearable medical alert help pendant that can contact the 24/7 monitoring center.

This package also comes with a free second alert pendant your partner can use so that you both have access to a call button in the event of an emergency. Both of these alert buttons can be pressed up to 1,300 feet away from the base station and still be in range to contact the Medical Guardian monitoring center. All of the wearable alert pendants that come with any Medical Guardian package are waterproof, so no matter where you fall, help is not far away.

If you don’t have a landline or you don’t want a landline, the Home Guardian is the right choice for you. The Home Guardian from Medical Guardian uses a nationwide cellular network to access its 24/7 monitoring center. This package comes with two wearable pendants, a wall-mounted help button, fall detection, a lockbox, and a product protection plan.

Besides landline versus cellular connection, the main difference between the Home Guardian and the Classic Guardian is the base stations. The Home Guardian has an LED Display screen that shows the date, time, and inside temperature of the home. It also shows the medical alert system’s signal strength and battery indicators. This base station also has two large buttons on either side of the top that allows you to reset the system or call for an emergency.

If you are a senior who is about still and just wanting a little extra security as you continue about your busy days, the Mobile Guardian might be the best option for you. It is a personal response system with built-in GPS tracking capabilities that will keep you protected when you are at home or on the go. It’s very lightweight and comes with a wearable pendant that you can use within 350 feet of the device. It will still connect you to the 24/7 monitoring center available through a nationwide cellular network. You can use both the handheld portable device and the wearable pendant to call in case of emergency, but you can only speak through the Mobile Guardian device itself.

The Mobile Guardian can fit in your pocket or purse, so it’s perfect for more active seniors. Medical Guardian uses AT&T cellular service to provide reliable cellular connectivity at all times. Each of the Medical Guardian devices that connect you to the monitoring center has clear, two-way communication so that you can easily hear the trained operator assisting you.

The Active Guardian is very similar to the Mobile Guardian in terms of size and function for seniors on the go. However, the Active Guardian is the only portable medical alert device that has both GPS and WiFi location technologies. It provides the most advanced protection at home and while you’re on-the-go. Unlike the Mobile Guardian, the Active Guardian is wearable as a pendant. It’s lightweight, and it has the most extended battery life of the Medical Guardian family. The Active Guardian comes equipped with the most accurate fall alert technology to signal and alert help when you need it the most.

Just like all the other Medical Guardian devices, Active Guardian provides wireless, 24/7 access to the medical alert monitoring center using AT&T cellular service, and the call center is 100% US-based. The Active Guardian has a powerful speaker that helps you connect to the call center at the push of a button. Medical Guardian knows that most falls happen on slippery surfaces, so this device, like the other wearable pendants, is waterproof.

The Family Guardian is the most substantial package Medical Guardian offers. It combines the benefits of medical alert systems with activity monitoring to allow friends, family and caregivers to stay up to date on your activity levels throughout the day. The Family Guardian uses three in-home safety sensors, a base station similar to the Classic Guardians, a wearable medical alert pendant, and the Family Guardian app to keep and share all the data.

For seniors who are typically inside most of the day and live alone, this option might be best for you since this package allows others to see what you are doing more frequently. This package also allows you or your family members to adapt the monitoring parameters to your needs. You can be self-monitored or opt for the professional monitoring service. If you or a loved one suffers from amnesia, night wandering, or other activities that might cause you to need a little extra help, the Family Guardian helps your family be proactive

Smart devices are the best new way to monitor your health and receive help. Medical Guardian’s Freedom Guardian Smartwatch was made to keep aging seniors safe while staying healthy and active. Freedom Guardian is a standalone watch that you can easily wear while working out or going about everyday activities. The Freedom Guardian gives older adults the ability to age healthily and the confidence to continue living the way they want without limitations.

The Freedom Guardian can show you the weather forecast, send you reminders and alerts, read text messages aloud to you, and use advanced location tracking. The simple, sleek design allows you to be discreet with your Medical Guardian technology. It was designed with older adults in mind and uses oversized icons as well as simple screen navigation. It uses a pre-installed SIM chip with cellular service, so there is no need to connect it to a phone or another device to use it.
