The Better Way to Shop for Medical Alert Devices

Published 1:30 am Thursday, January 17, 2019

Joe Thoron, author of “Find the Right Alert” website, will present at the Orcas Senior Center on Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 10 a.m., and on Thursday, Jan. 24 at 3 p.m. in the multipurpose room.

Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) work only in the home, not outside or in the car. Many alert companies push the benefits of their systems without mentioning any drawbacks. Review sites for PERS nudge you toward the companies that pay the highest commission and you’re left trying to sort through all the competing claims to make sense of it all.

Thoron will guide you through his website, https://findtherightalert.com/, designed to help find the right PERS for you. Call Orcas Senior Center to reserve a spot at 360-376-2677.
