Houston, TX (PRWEB) March 21, 2013

Starting today many pharmacies and medical supply retailers in the Tampa, Florida region will have a new offering for their customers. In Tampa, St. Petersburg, Bradenton, Lakeland, and surrounding cities, One Call Alert displays providing information and brochures for medical alarm services will be added to pharmacy counters.

We are proud to offer our reliable, life-saving service to the customers of Tampa and Central Florida areas. One Call Alert provides a safety net for many seniors who wish to remain independent in their homes. It also provides peace of mind for loved ones too, said Justin Noland of One Call Alert, at the announcement.

Medical Alert systems have been around for years. Many people remember the commercials where a sweet elderly woman falls, cant get up, and is helped by her medical alert device. That scene replays over and over again in homes all over the country and, many times, the result is not as pleasant.

According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, falls are the leading cause of all injuries to seniors. In fact, nearly two million seniors will visit the emergency room this year due to a fall related incident. In the event of a fall, a senior may not be able to reach for the phone or call for help.

This is where a One Call Alert medical alarm system can play a vital role in getting that person the help they need. With just the push of a button on a lightweight, waterproof pendant, an alert is triggered to the One Call Alert Emergency Monitoring Center. There, a highly trained operator speaks directly to the person and calls a neighbor, family member, or friend to respond. In a medical emergency, the operator can summon an ambulance and provide paramedics with necessary information.

If a loved one falls into any of the following categories, One Call Alert should be considered: Have a history of falling, are more than 70 years of age, live alone or are left alone for extended periods by a caregiver, use mobility assisted devices (walkers, canes, crutches, wheelchairs), have a history of medication management problems, have been hospitalized within the last 12 months, have sensory concerns (vision, hearing), or have cognitive concerns (dementia, Alzheimer's).

One Call Alert enables independent living at home for seniors and others with 24/7 medical alert monitoring. One Call Alert is simple and reliable. Our No-Installation-Needed system delivers emergency care with just one push of a button. Whether someone slips in the kitchen and just needs a neighbor to help them up or they are having a medical emergency and need a paramedic, One Call Alert will be there.
