Bottom line: ADT Med Alert protects Mom and Dad 

You’re probably familiar with ADT’s home security systems, but did you know the company has medical alert systems too? And if you already have an ADT system, you can get discounts on a medical alert device for loved ones. 

ADT offers three different systems: On-The-Go, Medical Alert Plus, and Medical Alert Basic. Each package comes equipped with an emergency button to reach any of ADT’s six monitoring centers. 

When Mom, Dad, or any older loved one is in a scary situation, they can call on ADT’s monitoring professionals for help. Whether it’s chest pains or a slip in the shower, the company’s emergency operators stay on the line until help arrives. 

Pros

  • Discounts for ADT customers
  • Locked-in monthly rate
  • Reliable professional monitoring

Cons

  • Low range for in-home systems
  • Limited availability for fall detection
  • No companion app for caregivers

How we reviewed ADT medical alert systems 

This isn’t the first time SafeWise has put ADT under the microscope. So we used what we already know about the company. We also sifted through fine print to get details on the payment process, activation fees, and more.

To top it off, we compared the ADT system to other popular medical alert devices, looking at prices, equipment, and monitoring perks. Learn more about how we conduct our reviews from our methodology page.

ADT Medical Alert systems start at just under $30 per month and top off around $40 per month. When you start your service, expect taxes along with activation and shipping fees. Thankfully those are one-time fees. 

If you’re an existing ADT customer, good news: There are a few perks to pairing your home security system with a new medical alert device. ADT customers get a small discount per month and half off fall detection for Medical Alert Plus and On-The-Go plans. 

ADT customers also get the freedom to choose between annual or quarterly billing. Yearly payments end up saving you about $4 for each plan.
