Lifeline Personal Medical Alarm Now Offers A Reassuring Voice To Seniors

Lifeline Personal Medical Alarm Now Offers Telephone Reassurance and Reminders Through its Lifeline CarePartner Telephone with Reminders, Enabling Seniors to Age with Dignity

(PRWEB) December 10, 2004 -- Lifeline Systems, the company that first invented the personal medical alarm 30 years ago, and which today helps over 400,000 seniors or disabled people to age with dignity and live with greater independence in their own homes, now offers telephone reassurance and reminders as well.

The Lifeline CarePartner® Telephone With Reminders not only provides immediate access to the Lifeline Personal Response Service when needed, but it also offers several other features to enhance the everyday quality of life for both users and their caregivers. The Telephone’s key added feature is that it can be set up to record and play up 6 personalized daily, weekly or one-time reminders. These telephone reassurance messages and reminders which are recorded remotely from any touch-tone phone by a caregiver, can be used to provide messages about taking medication, keeping appointments, eating well, exercising... or simply expressing love and support.

Other features that are included with the Lifeline CarePartner Telephone include:

• Dial Announce that clearly speaks each number as it is dialed, along with large backlit buttons to aid those with vision or dexterity impairments.
• Lifeline VoiceClock™ clearly speaks the time of day with a single press of a button
• TelAssure reminds users to check in with the response center at least once a month
• Adjustable high-volume speakerphone with hearing aid compatible handset and ringer volume controls
• Remote call answering lets users answer their phones just by pressing the Personal Help Button and using the speakerphone function. This eliminates the need to rush to answer a call—helping to prevent possible falls.
• 24 hours of battery backup in the event of a power outage, ensuring help is still available at the press of a button.
• Immediate access to the Lifeline Personal Response Service when needed.
  

The CarePartner Telephone works with either Lifeline's Slimline™ or Classic™ Pendant Personal Help Button and is yet another example of why more caregivers trust Lifeline Personal Medical Alarm to look after their loved ones. Lifeline is proud to be the preferred provider of personal response services to members of the Visiting Nurse Associations of America, and to thousands of leading hospitals across the country. In addition, the Lifeline Personal Response Service is also available through select chapters of the American Red Cross.

When it comes to experience, no other personal response service compares to Lifeline. The service costs little more than a dollar a day, there are no hidden costs, no long-term contracts, and subscribers may discontinue the service at any time.
