Lifeline is for living with fewer anxieties about falling

In a study of older adults, those using Lifeline reported significantly greater ability to go about daily routine and were ten times less likely to require admission to a nursing home!

Medical research shows that falling down and being unable to get help is not an uncommon event. In fact, nearly 1/3 of all people over the age of 65 (and half of all people over 90) will fall each year. Of course, the older you get, the more dangerous and debilitating falls can be, and they often mark the end of independent living.

Research also tells us that 30% to 50% of elderly people fear falling-a fear that can cause them to lose confidence and restrict their normal range of healthy activities. The confidence and peace-of-mind that comes from the Lifeline medical alarm service helps to ease these anxieties, as well as the feelings of isolation and depression caused by such worries.
