Helen Newberry Joy Hospital & Healthcare Center is able to provide installation of the Guardian Medical Monitoring System to persons interested in the extra security and independence that this monitoring system can deliver. Guardian is designed for people of all ages C the elderly who are often alone for long periods of time, people with chronic illness, physically challenged individuals striving to maintain their independence, baby-sitters and latchkey kids who feel more confident knowing there is emergency help if needed.

The Guardian Medical Monitoring System provides an immediate link to professional help. For some individuals, this makes the difference in maintaining their independence or entering an assisted living home; or they can be an alternative to the sometimes impersonal Home Health Aide. And they provide comfort, assistance and security to those family members who are care-givers, or are too far away to be helpful in an emergency.

The product is designed to be simple. Installation is as easy as plugging in the speaker phone base unit into both the phone outlet and the electrical wall outlet. Calling for help is as easy as pressing a button on your choice of a pendant, wristband or belt clip.

Guardian will work with you to set up a predetermined list of contacts and instructions. Our medical monitoring staff is here 24 hours a day, seven days a week to answer alarms and call help for you. Guardian products are affordable and covered by most insurance companies including the Medicaid Waiver Program.
