Emergency alert systems (Consumer Reports comparison)

Many local hospitals (such as Stanford, Mills-Peninsula, etc.) offer special discounts to anyone who lives in their area for these sorts of systems.  (Often it’s a discount on the monthly fee.  Participants do not need to be patients at those hospitals.)  Stanford and Mills-Peninsula both have contracts with Lifeline.  One of our group members is actually an installer for Mills-Peninsula.

The article accompanying the comparison suggests what you should look for when signing up with one of these services.

Here’s also a link to an AARP newsletter article on the same topic:
