Personal Emergency Response System (PERS)

WA DSHS ALTSA

A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is an electronic device, typically a wearable button or in-home unit connected to a phone, that lets an adult summon help in an emergency. When activated, staff at a response center contact 911 or take whatever action has been pre-arranged.
