Living on a rural farm outside Brandon, Manitoba, 81-year-old Helen has no plans to slow down. After decades of hard work raising a family and tending to her land, she now spends her days enjoying fresh air, feeding her hens, and cruising around the property on her off road mobility scooter.
But Helen also knows that rural living comes with risks – long distances from emergency services, unpredictable weather, and the reality that falls or medical events can happen anytime, anywhere.
That’s why she uses the Bedford Medical Alert Go Anywhere medical alert device – a mobile personal emergency response system (PERS) with built-in GPS, two-way communication, and fall detection technology.
A Medical Alert System That Works Wherever You Go
Helen’s daughter, who lives in Winnipeg, was the first to raise the idea of getting a Canadian medical alert system.
“At first, I wasn’t sure,” Helen said. “I thought those buttons were for people who stayed indoors. But my daughter showed me Bedford’s Go Anywhere mobile alert, and I realized it was exactly what I needed.”
With her Bedford device clipped to her jacket or worn on a lanyard, Helen can travel across her property, down gravel laneways, or into town – all while staying connected to 24/7 emergency monitoring.
One Fall, One Button Press – and Help Was on the Way
Last fall, Helen’s scooter hit a soft patch of ground near the edge of the field. She tipped sideways and landed hard on her hip. Unable to get back up, she pressed the alert button.
“I didn’t panic. I just pressed the button. They answered right away – even out in the middle of nowhere.”
The Bedford monitoring team pinpointed her GPS location, spoke to her through the device, and contacted local EMS and her daughter. Within minutes, help arrived.
Why Bedford’s Go Anywhere Device Is Built for Rural Canadians
Helen’s story isn’t unique. Across Canada – especially in remote areas of Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan – seniors are choosing mobile medical alert systems that offer flexibility and reliable coverage far beyond the city limits.
The Bedford Medical Alert Go Anywhere device is ideal for:
- Seniors in rural or remote locations
- Active older adults who walk, garden, or travel
- People who use mobility scooters or wheelchairs
- Seniors living alone or far from family
