Medical Guardian System
Medical Alert Advice’s goal is to provide honest and real reviews of the top medical alert systems on the market. Medical Guardian is one of the up-and-coming medical alert companies in the industry and we often get asked “How does Medical Guardian system compare?” While Medical Guardian is not currently our #1 recommended medical alert device, it does have many great qualities worth considering when you are making a purchase.
Read on to review the pros and cons of the Medical Guardian system!
Pros:
- No Set-Up Fees: Besides the Freedom Guardian smartwatch and the Mini Guardian, there are no upfront equipment fees. When you don’t have to pay for equipment, set-up fees or shipping, it makes trying a new system less of a risk.
- Good Cancellation Policy: If you cancel your service for any reason, you will receive a refund for any months of service not used.
- 24-Hour Monitoring & Support Services: Should an emergency occur, a trained professional will connect with you, no matter the time of day or night.
- Automatic Monthly Testing:Your system’s console will be automatically tested monthly at the monitoring station. A great way to know if you system is working properly.
- Outstanding BBB Rating: Medical Guardian prides itself on their A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
- Lasting Battery Power: An essential feature of a great medical alert device is long battery life and support if you lose power. Your Medical Guardian Home system’s battery has 30-32 hours of backup battery should you lose power in your home. The Active Guardian’s battery can last up to 7 days before it would need to be recharged.
- Fair Pricing: Starting at around $29.95 a month, the Medical Guardian system is reasonably priced.
- Fall Detection: Medical Guardian has fall detection options with all of their products except the Freedom Guardian smartwatch. A great asset in case of an emergency that renders you unconscious or unable to press the button yourself.
- TMA Five Diamond Certified Monitoring Center: This is one of our favorite features and is offered by Medical Guardian’s monitoring partners. Note that their monitoring centers are not company owned.
- Refer-A-Friend: Should you purchase a system and then recommend it to friends or family, Medical Guardian will send you $25 per referral. It’s a nice added bonus!
Cons:
- No Senior Discount: One of the perks of being a senior is the discounts! Medical Guardian does not offer any for their services.
- No Activity Monitoring: A nice added bonus is activity monitoring, a way to make sure your loved one is active each day, which is not available with this system.
- No Pill Reminder: This is a great additional feature that is not offered with their systems.
Overall Medical Guardian gets a 4.5 out of 5 stars from Medical Alert Advice and we consider it a solid choice. It is a great affordable option for you or your loved one. If you are interested in purchasing Medical Guardian, feel free to check out their current special offers!
