Lifeline

Your family member who is a senior citizen probably doesn’t need any more decorative items for his or her home, or even more slippers and robes! Why not think of a practical and loving gift of safety?

Lifeline is an easy to use medical alert service designed to reduce the risk of living alone. In the event of a fall or emergency, help is available at the push of a button. The Lifeline Personal Help Button connects to a trained Personal Response Associate who can send help quickly – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Associate can determine whether someone requires emergency services or a visit from a neighbor or a family member and can contact any or all of them.

For senior citizens, it is estimated that more than half of all falls that result in injury happen at home. Lifeline provides quick access to help 24 hours a day. It can give greater peace of mind not only to seniors, but to their family members and neighbors. In an emergency, delayed medical care can jeopardize recovery. Having access to help at the push of a button can reduce these risks. So, don’t wait for a fall or medical emergency. Lifeline can give your loved one greater peace of mind and a sense of confidence to help maintain independent living. There is no equipment to buy and no long-term contract to sign. The cost is literally less than that of a cup of coffee a day.
