Home Healthcare Signaling Device Can Save Lives

LEXINGTON, SC – August 14, 2009 – A home healthcare signaling device can save lives when senior citizens or disabled adults are living alone. Home healthcare can go a long way toward providing safety and care for senior citizens and disabled adults who live on their own, but home healthcare is only part-time. For safety and security, a home healthcare signaling device can provide protection full-time, without the expense of full-time care or assisted living.

Assisted living care is expensive and not necessary for many seniors and disabled adults who prefer to live independently. Many people cannot afford assisted living and no longer have healthcare coverage that will help lower the expense. However, accidents and illness are both realities with vulnerable populations and the injured party cannot always contact help when needed.

A signaling device can keep seniors and disabled adults safe in their own homes without having to pay the costs of full-time care. A home healthcare signaling device is used to contact medical help anytime of day or night with the touch of a button, providing a level of care and safety that is affordable and still offers independency and privacy.

More people are living longer and have the ability to take care of the activities of daily living on their own. Unfortunately, aging brings the higher risk of accidents such as falling, which can leave people with broken bones and no way to call for help. A home healthcare signaling device solves this problem by providing the ability to contact emergency medical help through a one-touch button worn on the wrist or around the neck. The signaling device uses the existing telephone system and wiring in the home and contacts a call center staffed with professionals who can immediately assess the situation to determine the level and type of care needed and then dispatch the appropriate help. Call center staff can also contact a family member to alert them to the situation so they can meet their loved one at home or in the emergency room.

Home healthcare signaling devices are inexpensive, professionally installed and monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. Regardless of the ability to reach the phone, seniors and disabled adults can contact medical services in case of an emergency whenever needed.
