A timely response is vital

The importance of being able to count on a timely human response when choosing and using a personal alarm cannot be underestimated.

With so much choice around today it’s often hard to know which personal alarm is right for you.

MePACS is a 24/7 personal alarm service is responded to by real people who can help you day or night, whether you are at home, work or away.

It’s ideal for older Australians, people with chronic conditions or those with disabilities.

This monitored service is much safer than non-monitored alarms as it’s the human touch that makes so much difference and gives you the peace of mind.

MePACS saved Ron’s life because he had a fully monitored personal alarm service that has real people ready to respond and get help on its way anytime day or night.

With MePACS Ron knew he had the reassurance of a guaranteed response within two minutes.

Once he pressed his alarm the MePACS operators were able to identify what help Ron needed and then relayed this to Triple-000 emergency call-takers who were able to prioritise the call.

Unfortunately, auto-dialers and other automated personal alarms are not able to offer the same service.

This direct human contact is key to providing a speedy and reliable response, when needed, that makes the MePACS service safer and more reliable for its clients.

For more information on MePACS Personal Alarm service, visit www.mepacs.com.au or call 1800 685 329.
