Personal Emergency Response Systems

Do you live alone, are alone for long periods of the day, or live with others who cannot contact emergency services? If you qualify for Community First Choice, you may be eligible for a basic Personal Emergency Response System.

A Basic PERS is an electronic device you wear, like a necklace or bracelet, that you use to get help in an emergency. It is connected to an emergency response center through your landline or mobile phone. When activated, it calls the response center for you.
