In nine years of operations, SafeGuard been helping people remain safe, secure, independent and has given hundreds and hundreds of people the freedom to remain in the homes that they love, confident and secure that if help is needed, its only a press of a button away.
The systems have come along way since the old “I've fallen and can't get up” TV commercials that were the brunt of jokes by many comedians.
SafeGuard's medical alarms have many more features then the old systems and our systems are some of the most technically advanced available today.
All of the alarms we feature have crystal clear two-way voice communication, which is important in getting the right help quickly and efficiently. Once the alarm is activated, the monitoring center can both hear and talk to the person in their home.
We will quickly and efficiently send any help needed. Feeling sick? An ambulance. See a prowler? The police. Smell smoke? Your neighborhood fire department. Need a friend, neighbor or relative? They will be called and on the way to your side in minutes.
SafeGuard is proud of its relationship with the three top manufacturers of personal emergency response systems in the United States. The personal emergency response systems that we currently use are dependable, reliable and have the track record of trouble free service.
Our manufacturers include Capricorn Electronics, which is a leading manufacturer of home and commercial alarms. Alarm Electronics is another leader in both home and commercial alarms. GE is recognized around the world for their consumer electronics and security products.
All have an emergency battery back up. That keeps them working even when the power is off; insuring anyone in their home stays safe and secure.
The pendant has an operating range of approximately 200-700 feet (depending on building construction) and can activate the system from inside or outside the home. They are water resistant and can be worn in the shower, where many people encounter problems.
The emergency systems are able to self test themselves. This lets us know immediately if there is a problem with the battery, alarm or pendant.
Our alarms are also able to monitor activity in the home. If the person does not respond to a tone at a pre-determined time (6 hours, 12 hours ect), the monitoring center contacts the home. If there is no response, the predetermined responders will be notified.
To raise the comfort and security levels of you or the ones you love, remote smoke detectors, temperature alarms, water alarms and remote activity monitors can be purchased and installed with the personal emergency response system at an additional charge.
How much is the freedom, independence, security, safety and confidence worth to live an active and quality life in the comfort of your own home worth?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Can SafeGuard be used in apartments, homes, condo's or mobile homes?
SafeGuard systems can be used anywhere, as long as there is a telephone line and electricity. What if there is a power failure?
SafeGuard systems have been designed to be there when someone needs help. A backup rechargeable battery is in every system. In the event of a power failure, the unit can operate up to 24 hours, depending on the battery drain. The system will notify the monitoring center that a power failure has occurred and they will contact the subscribers home.
Is there a contract or lengthy service agreement required?
No contract is required for a SafeGuard system. A customer may keep their system for one month or 10 years. There are never penalty fee's or charges for discontinuing the service.
Are their costly modifications or messy remodeling needed to install a system?
No. SafeGuard's equipment is simple to install and no drilling, re-wiring or changes to a home are required. SafeGuard's equipment works on radio frequencies and is easily moved.
If a subscriber moves, can they take their SafeGuard with them?
Yes. The system can be taken anywhere in the US. The subscriber must notify SafeGuard in advance to update their emergency.
Can a subscriber in another state get a SafeGuard system?
Yes, systems are easy to install and may be shipped to a home anywhere in the continental United States. Many adult children have ordered systems for their parents to insure their safety, security and freedom.
How do you know a system is working properly?
Each system will alert the monitoring center if an internal problem exists. Each subscriber should test their system at least once a month, to insure maximum operating efficiency.
How can the monitoring technicians hear what is going on in a home?
When the pendant is pressed, the SafeGuard system is activated. A high powered microphone and a powerful speaker allow two-way voice communication throughout an average sized home. This technology is similar to that used for federal government buildings.
Can the SafeGuard monitoring technicians eavesdrop on a subscriber's home?
No, SafeGuard's fail-safe feature makes it impossible to listen unless an emergency signal is received by the monitoring center first.
What is the operating range of the SafeGuard system?
The transmitter pendant has a range of about 250 to 500 feet. If a subscriber is outside of their home, they will be able to alert the monitoring center, in most cases. This depends on the building construction and signal obstructions. If the technicians can not hear a person after an alert is received, they will send rescue personnel to investigate and assist them.
Many falls occur in the bathroom, can the pendant be worn in the shower?
Absolutely. Many falls do occur in the shower and our pendants are manufactured to be water resistant for this very reason.
If there are two people in one home, can the same unit be used for both people?
Yes. SafeGuard's system can be set up to monitor two people from one system.
Ask any SafeGuard consultant for details.
Can the SafeGuard system be used with digital cable telephone systems?
No, at the current time there are no systems available that will operate with Voice Over Internet Protocol digital telephone services.
Can I use a credit card or bank draft to pay their monthly monitoring charge?
Yes. In fact we welcome the use of a draft system for either a credit card or bank account. An automatic bank draft form must be filled out to enable this time saving program.
Is there a discount for pre-paying my account?
Yes there is. Any account that pays 12 months in advance gets the 13 th month for free. If, by some chance, you cancel your account before the year is up, you will be credited for any months that you don't use and the free month will not be credited.
