Life Fone For The Holidays
The holidays are upon us. Things seem busier everywhere, at home, out in public and even at work. For those of you that don’t know, I work in the medical field. I can’t tell you how many times emergency services are called to check on people. Relatives of the elderly worry when they haven’t heard from their loved ones and often contact the police or fire to check on them simply because they’re closer. I remember when my Grandma was alive. We hated leaving her alone but it just wasn’t possible to be with her every minute of every day. Today there’s a medical alert system called Life Fone that can help minimize those calls, leaving those folks free to respond to other matters.
Life Fone clients wear a medical alert bracelet that is connected to an emergency response center. If a client is in distress all they need to do is touch their waterproof bracelet or pendant and they’ll activate a medical alarm. That alarm is relayed to a base station located in the home. The folks monitoring assess the situation and stay on the line with the client. They also contact the necessary emergency services agencies and notify any designated contacts including family and doctors.
If you have a loved one that you worry about, or know someone that does, consider looking into Life Fone. It might help ease your mind. The monthly monitoring fee is only $29 – less than $1 a day. This is about as close as you can get to being there yourself. Something to think about as the holidays close in. To learn more or to sign up visit lifefone.com.
