Ensuring the Care Team, which may be made up of family, friends, professionals, and/or a combination thereof, is in a communication loop for appropriate and ongoing care, is a critical component for success.
Personal Emergency Response Systems are there when others are not. I have partnered with Electronic Caregiver, LSM #55227, a technology that helps the elderly and chronically ill live safely and independently in their homes.
When they need help, clients can reach first responders at the touch of a button and get help immediately. At the same time, designated family members and caregivers are automatically notified.
Services include the following:
Emergency Alerting
Care Reminders - medication, appts etc.
Physician On-demand
