How to Use your PERS System

If you need assistance, whether it be day or night, you can call for help quickly from anywhere in your home. If you need help, push the wrist/necklace transmitter or the large help button on the unit. The system will automatically dial the Monitoring Centre. Our call centre professionals can hear you through the microphone on the unit.

If you have an emergency, you can let them know that you need help. If you push the button by mistake, just press the CANCEL button. If the call still goes through to the call centre, don’t worry just tell the operator you are OK.

If you don’t respond, help will be sent immediately.

What to expect

PERS System

The unit speaks to you through a built in speaker phone. Volume controls can be found on the bottom of the unit to control the volume of the two way speaker system and the other for the volume of the speaker.  There are easy to use buttons with braille characters.

Locations

As of July 21st, 2020, Family 1st Medical requires patients and visitors to wear a non-medical mask when entering any of our locations.

 

The health and safety of our clients is our top priority.

We want to do everything we can to help reduce the transmission of COVID-19.

Family 1st Medical asks that all patients and visitors bring a non-medical mask to wear when entering any of our locations.

Please remember that masks are not a replacement for physical distancing so it’s still necessary to maintain a distance of two metres (six feet) where possible.

It is also important to continue frequent hand washing, practice respiratory etiquette and avoid touching your mask and face.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work together to protect our families, our communities and our most vulnerable.
