CareGard by GE and HTTS, Inc.

The most robust home emergency call system in the market today, CareGard has more functions and features than any other alert system in the market.  Most importantly, seniors can use CareGard to answer the phone.  CareGard turns the phone into a speaker phone.  This added convenience encourages seniors to wear the call button.  Statistics show that over 75% of seniors who have a medical alert system and had a fall were not wearing the call button.

Help is available when family members can't be - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Standard Features:

·  Two-way voice: Superior sound quality with long range. In most homes, the system can pick up your voice within 30 feet of the unit, even if you’re in another room.

·  Serves as a speaker phone – you can press pendant/wrist button to answer the phone, turning the base unit into a speaker phone (volume control available).

·  Battery backup – Anytime the power is out or the system is unplugged, the backup battery takes over. The life of the battery is 24 hours.

Q: How does CareGard work?

A: If you fall, are in need of help, feel uncomfortable, sick or need to speak to someone; simply press the GE CareGard® call button that you wear around your neck or on your wrist. The call button activates the GE CareGard® console, which contacts the monitoring center. A trained central station operator will speak with you using the GE CareGard® built-in speakerphone in the console. They will determine the type of help you need based on your response. The operator will contact emergency medical services or a neighbor, family member or whomever else is on file to be notified. This is why it is very important the central station has your correct information on file.

Q: Does the GE CareGard system work outside the home?
