Life Alert Emergency Response
Life Alert Emergency Response, Inc. is a nationwide American company, with headquarters in Encino, California, which provides services that help the elderly contact emergency services. The company's system consists of a main unit and a small wireless help button that is worn on the user at all times . Former Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop appeared in commercials for Life Alert starting in 1992, stating that he wore one. He remained a spokesman for the company until his death in 2013.
== About the Life Alert service ==
Life Alert was founded by Isaac Shepher and it consists of a pendant-shaped device, worn on a necklace or wristband, and an automated dialer connected to a telephone line. When an elderly or handicapped person falls down and cannot get up, or has an emergency, such as a break-in, a telephone may be out of reach. To get quick assistance, the customer simply presses a button on the pendant. This activates the automated dialer and calls a company call center. The dialer then works as a speaker phone. At the other end is an emergency services dispatcher to alert the authorities to the customer's predicament.
The service is marketed as a way for seniors to continue living at home rather than move to a retirement home and is available nationwide.
