ADT partners with Senior Helpers to provide more age-in-place medical alert options

BOCA RATON, Fla.—ADT recently announced a new partnership with Senior Helpers, a provider of in-home senior care, and will introduce its medical alert systems to Senior Helpers clients.

The new partnership will provide seniors with additional safety and support, particularly when a Senior Helpers caregiver is not present.

“Our partnership with Senior Helpers will help provide additional safety and support for its clients who require a caregiver but who also want the freedom and independence to live in their own home, maintain and enjoy their current lifestyle and stick to a budget with no long-term contract commitments,” ADT's Sr. Vice President of Emerging Markets, Jay Darfler, said in the announcement.

ADT's medical alert systems also send notifications to Senior Helpers caregivers and designated family and friends in the event of a medical emergency and throughout the initial term of treatment until the customer is discharged.

“Providing peace of mind for our clients is very important, and we believe that this service from ADT is one that many of our clients will find attractive,” Senior Helpers CEO & Co-Founder Peter Ross said in the announcement.

Under the new partnership, Senior Helpers clients will receive preferred pricing for ADT Medical Alert Systems, including ADT Medical Alert Plus and ADT On-The-Go units.

ADT Medical Alert Plus provides a full in-home monitoring service that offers fall detection and home temperature monitoring, along with a wide monitoring range (600 feet from the base). ADT On-The-Go is a mobile option, and the systems also provide families and caregivers with options to monitor their aging loved ones remotely. The device has fall detection and GPS capabilities, and landlines are not required for either service.
