Lifeline, Diseases and Other Conditions

Living with heart related conditions

Lifeline provides extra protection from conditions unrelated to falls, particularly for people with heart disease. A serious heart arrhythmia, chest pain, difficulty breathing, general fatigue, muscle weakness or other serious AMD forms of distress may leave someone in need of immediate assistance, and unable to call for help.

Living with other age related conditions

In a study of older adults, those using the Lifeline medical alert service reported significantly greater ability to go about their daily routine.

As people get older, they face a greater risk of stroke, and are more prone to developing chronic diseases like arthritis, diabetes and osteoporosis. Seniors don't see or hear as well as they used to, and it can be harder for them to move around the house with the same confidence as they did before.

Each of these conditions, accompanied by anxiety about falling or being incapacitated, can lead to a decline in activity and ability to live on their own.

Living with limited mobility and other physical challenges

A selection of specially designed assistive devices gives individuals with neuromuscular disabilities and disorders (such as paralysis, Parkinson's, MS, Cerebral Palsy and ALS) the ability to call upon Lifeline for help.

These devices, offered as an alternative to the personal help button, can also be used to answer incoming calls by activating Lifeline's remote answering feature and speakerphone. Lifeline offers the added security and protection of a smoke detector that can automatically send an emergency signal to the Lifeline Response Center so that the Fire Department is quickly dispatched.

You can always trust Lifeline for added safety, greater peace of mind and communications.

Lifeline helps with medication management

Failing to take the proper medication at the right time accounts for 25% of all hospital admissions for those 65 and older. Mistakes in medication compliance or in following a plan of care can also result in a hospital re-admission or admission to a nursing home.

With the Lifeline Reminders service, Lifeline subscribers are prompted to take their medications, to eat properly, to exercise or to keep important appointments. Daily, weekly or one time reminders are easy to set up, and since the reminders are recorded in the voice (and native language) of a family member, caregiver or health professional, they can be used for any reason...even if it's just to leave a brief message of love and support!

This valuable service is another benefit of selecting the Lifeline CarePartner Telephone with Reminders.
