Virginia Medical Alert Systems

Help Now ships medical alert systems free to every part of Virginia, from Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Richmond to Northern Virginia, Roanoke, the Eastern Shore and the mountain counties of the southwest. Virginia is really three different places for this, and the right system is not the same in all of them.

Systems we ship to Virginia

Prices shown are the bank autopay rate, our lowest. Paying by card costs a few dollars more, quarterly billing takes $1 off every month, annual takes $2 off, and veterans and Meals on Wheels recipients save an additional $5 every month.

What Virginia families ask us about

The coast: storms and power cuts. Hurricane season takes the power out, and a house without power is exactly when someone should not be cut off. The at-home base stations carry their own backup battery, so the system keeps working through an outage rather than going dark with the lights.

The southwest: mountains and thin cell signal. Coverage in the mountain counties is genuinely patchy. This is the honest case for the landline Home Link, because where there is no signal a cellular system will not work when it matters, and several national providers no longer sell anything else. If you have neither a landline nor a usable signal, nothing works at that address, ours included, and we will tell you so.

Northern Virginia: a parent three hours down the road. The most common call we get from Virginia is an adult child in Arlington or Loudoun with a parent still in Roanoke or the Shore. A mobile GPS system travels, and the Belle X adds a Caregiver App for $10 a month so you can see they are up and about without ringing every evening.

Senior resources in Virginia

Virginia runs aging services through the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services at dars.virginia.gov, working through a statewide network of 25 Area Agencies on Aging. The state calls its front door No Wrong Door, which is designed so that whichever agency you reach first can route you to meals, transport, in-home help and caregiver support.

The national Eldercare Locator, run by the U.S. Administration on Aging, will connect you to services anywhere in Virginia on 1-800-677-1116.
