Rural Fire Departments, Volunteer Fire Departments, Churches, Senior Groups and many local Senior Centers have worked with Assistive Technology Services in Tennessee to provide No Monthly Cost Emergency Alert Systems for the seniors of their community.

The great part is once the local funding is secured through donations, fund raisers, grants or other sources the systems are purchased in bulk and there is never another penny to pay to use them.

"We just pay once and we are done" says R. Gates of Virginia.

As the senior population grows so does the need for them to have an emergency alert system. With 1/3 of all seniors falling at home each year the need is huge. Of the 1/3 that fall 1/3 of those will pass away within the first year of the injury.

Seniors are having a difficult time just getting by financially these days. Most seniors just can not afford the $39 to $59 a month for a monitored medical alert system.

Assistive Technology Services has the solution. Our medical alert systems have No Monthly Charges PERIOD. Once you buy the system (starts at only $69.99) you never pay a penny ever again to use it.

So how does this work? The system will call up to 4 telephone numbers that you program into it. It could be a neighbor, a friend, a cell phone or even 911. Some communities have the system call the local fire department instead of 911. Some communities have the system call a contracted home health care agent.

By calling these non-monitored numbers you are bypassing the big monitoring fees and saving hundreds of dollars each year for the senior.

How do churches get involved? Many churches have put together programs to raise funds through community fund drives and donations from members. By doing this they can purchase the emergency alert systems in bulk and save even more. At the same time they are providing a great outreach to the community and the members of their local church.

How do fire departments get involved? Many Fire Departments will conduct local fund raisers to raise the money for the systems. "It only takes a couple thousand dollars to cover dozens of citizens" says A. Harley, SC. The great part is the fund raisers can take place and funds raised easily and once the funds are raised there is never another cost for the citizens to use them. "It is truly a great gift to the community" says harley.

Assistive Technology Services is a Christian based company and welcomes any organization to contact us regarding fund raising and bulk purchases of any of our no monthly fee alert systems for their community.

"May you know the Glory of God and may he Bless you"
