Lifeline and Medication Management Systems
Lifeline Medical Alert System
The Philips Lifeline Medical Alert System is an easy-to-use electronic safety device that connects at-risk clients in North Worcester County and Franklin County with trained responders. Lifeline offers clients independence and security while providing them and their families with peace of mind, knowing that they are monitored 24 hours a day should a problem arise.
Program Benefits:
If help is needed, the touch of a button on the Personal Transmitter Pendant triggers assistance immediately. Lifeline works with our innovative monitoring systems to provide the appropriate level of response for any situation - from a reassuring voice to calm a stressed or frightened client, to emergency medical services for an illness or accident. Our equipment is easy to use and our services affordable.
Alert Systems include*:
Medical Alert System (with upgrade capabilities): For individuals with chronic health problems or high-risk physical or medical issues who may require emergency services.
AutoAlert Pendant: Providing an added layer of protection. The pendant is designed to detect when a person cannot get up from a fall and will automatically place a call for help.
Medication Management Dispenser System: Provides pre-measured medication doses and pre-recorded reminders for individuals requiring a medication regimen.
