This Father’s Day Treat That Special Senior Dad to the Gift of Independence and Peace of Mind with a Lifeline Medical Alert
Change holder for dresser: $12. Best seller new release: $24. Tie: $35. Giving Dad the ability to continue living on his own and in his own house: priceless.
Framingham, MA (PRWEB) June 15, 2005 -- On Father’s Day, the day set aside
for men ranging from new dads to great grand dads, some special men with senior
status deserve a gift with value substantially more than that of a tie, money
clip or new gardening tool. The gift of a special pendant or wrist band, a Lifeline personal help button, allows these older men to
continue to live safely and independently in their own home, surrounded by the
security and stability they have built over time. By bringing a Lifeline personal emergency
response system into their home, many older men are able to put off the
difficulty and frustrating of having to leave their treasured collections,
established routines, gardens, friends and pets behind when they must move to an
assisted living facility or nursing home.
Lifeline Systems has been the
leading provider of personal response services in the United States for over 30
years. Lifeline is the preferred provider of medical alert services to
members of the Visiting Nurses Associations of America, and to thousands of
leading doctors and hospitals. In addition, the Lifeline service is available
through select chapters of the American Red Cross.
With the simple press
of a waterproof button, at any time of the day or night, the user is quickly
connected with a highly trained Lifeline Personal Response Associate. The
Associate makes voice contact through the Lifeline speakerphone, reviews the
individual's personal and medical profile, assesses her situation and then
notifies a family member, neighbor, or appropriate support and medical response
team as the situation requires.
“After my mom died my sisters and I were
certain that our Dad would want to move into a nearby assisted living facility
to be with his brother and to eliminate any extra house work and maintenance,”
writes a daughter of a Lifeline subscriber. “While he was terribly sad that my
mom wasn’t around, my Dad is a proud man and insisted that he be able to stay in
his home of 37 years. He told us he was not going to move away from the town
he’d grown up in and leave the life he’d established there. The social worker at
the hospital suggested that we look into Lifeline. It has offered us the perfect
solution giving dad his freedom and ability to stay at home and has given us the
comfort of knowing he can press a button and Lifeline will alert us as well as
get him immediate help if he needs it.”
