Treat That Special Senior Dad to the Gift of Independence and Peace of Mind with a Lifeline Medical Alert

Medical Alarm System

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.”

Lifeline personal response and support services offer:

• Immediate response by caring and highly-trained Personal Response Associates—24 hours a day/365 days a year- State-of-the-art equipment made by Lifeline
• Lightweight, waterproof personal help button that can be worn as a pendant or on the wrist
• CarePartner Telephone option with larger number buttons and personalized reminders to help manage medications, diet, exercise and appointments
• No minimum service commitment, all at a cost of little more than a dollar a day

Lifeline Systems Places in Boston Business Journal's 3rd Annual “Best Places to Work in Massachusetts”

Lifeline Medical Alarm

Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 27, 2005 -- Boston Business Journal has named Lifeline Systems one of the Best Places to Work in Massachusetts, in its third annual regional awards program. The award recognizes the company's achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.

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.

“Our results validate how the creation of the right corporate culture can create powerful business advantages,” said George Donnelly, Boston Business Journal editor. “Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business.”

The Framingham-based company was one of more than 240 companies to qualify for consideration, making the top 20 list in its size category based on the results of employee-satisfaction surveys taken throughout the spring.

“Lifeline's culture is about caring and respect for each other and for our subscribers,” said Ellen Berezin, Vice President of Human Resources. “We are truly grateful to each and every employee for practicing our values daily and thereby creating such a special place to work.”

Companies were evaluated on the results of more than 18,000 employee-satisfaction surveys which included questions on their pride in the company, company encouragement, support and recognition of achievement, and relationships with co-workers and supervisors.

“Accommodating employees' personal needs pays back dividends of loyalty and productivity,” noted BBJ publisher Mike Olivieri. “The companies we selected are all winners because they acknowledge that the care of their employees is instrumental in maintaining the quality and reputation for services and products.”

Medical Alarms Can Save Your Life

Medical alarms have spread in the past decade around the whole world. As the demographic pyramid inverts and the elderly become a more and more significant part of the population in Western developed countries, and as longevity gains ground as a factor in our social equation, medical alarms conceived for this sector of people have been sold by millions. The image of an elderly man or woman wearing a more or less concealed panic button device has become familiar to us all. If they fall or feel suddenly sick, they just need to ring the bell and help will come.

Now, the theory is simple but making a truly functional alarm is a much complicated story. Who needs to be alerted? What information needs to be transmitted instantly to the alert unit? Will the medical alarm user be traced to the very location where he or she is, by means of GPS technology, or will the alarm just work at home?

Medical alarms can be sophisticated to enormous complexity, or they can be kept simple. Some alarms can even produce an injection into the patient's body at crisis moments, thus allowing him or her to have immediate access to the needed medicine. Others may be perimeter alert devices telling the carers if an amnesic or self-injuring patient has left a certain area. Children, mental patients and severe chronic patients may all benefit from various types of medical alarm devices, which are no longer reserved to senior citizens.

The Medical Alarm Site provides independent and up-to-date information on medical alarm systems and devices, and thus helps the public at large to see if they need an alarm for themselves or a relative, and if so, which kind. The Medical Alarm Site also provides an international listing of manufacturers.

The publishing company welcomes SEO-related enquiries by webmasters and Internet marketeers for joint promotion, non-reciprocal link exchange and other co-operation options.

Check Your Medical Alert Systems

87-year-old Jewel Wig has had a LifeLine Medical Alert System in her home for 11 years. Wig says, "It's very much a security. I'm by myself and if something happens, I know, I'll always have that to take care of it."

LifeLine has 585 Medical Alert Systems in Madison and surrounding counties. And if you have one, you can get help from HEMSI in about 20 seconds. That's if the system works. And you can make sure it does, by checking the system once a month. Teri Patterson of LifeLine says, "That way, they make sure the battery in the button is good and the battery in the box is good, the communicator that communicates with our dispatch center or any dispatch center."

But even with good batteries, the system can go down. But only if your phone goes dead. Patterson says, "If the phone system is down, then your life line is down. But as long as you have a phone line, you have life line whether the power is out or not."

And that's the security Jewel Wig depends on every day.

With a Medical Alert You Can Continue to Live Safely in Your Own Home

Medical Alarm from Pioneer Emergency

Have you ever felt unsafe in your home? Are you worried about a fall or injury and not being able to reach a phone? Have you had a heart attack, stroke, or fall? Are you concerned that a costly nursing home may be the only option?

Imagine, instead, living safely at home. Because with a personal medical alert system you have the power to summon help in an emergency twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The Pioneer Bodyguard (a personal emergency response system) can mean the difference between life and death. Don't become a statistic; with today's medical alert technology you never have to be alone. Just one toll-free phone call 1 (800) 274-8274 is all it takes to get a Pioneer Bodyguard, so you can maintain your independence and live safely at home.

By wearing a small, medical alert pendant around your neck, you will have instant access (from any room of your house) to the button that will summon the paramedics. Simply press and the pendant uses radio frequencies to tell the base station a problem has arisen. The base dials our monitoring center, staffed by trained professionals every day of the year. The monitoring center then talks directly to you, turning your entire house into a loud speaker phone. The monitoring station can then summon the paramedics, or call your family, per your wishes.
