Lifeline
"This year 1.4 million people, 65 and older will fall."
Imagine you or a loved one at home, alone, stepping out of the tub or shower in the evening. A small puddle of water has formed on the tile, directly where you place your foot. You slip, and fall to the ground. For the next 12 hours you lie on the bathroom floor with something seriously wrong, maybe a broken bone, with no way of getting to the phone. All you can do is yell for help and hope that someone comes to check on you.
But there is good news: it doesn't have to be this way.
Lifeline is an emergency help system that, with just a push of a button, can send emergency assistance to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you've had an accident, maybe a fall or a heart attack, Lifeline is there for you via a button on your telephone or on a pendant/wristband. They will get you the help you need, whether it be an ambulance or a family member. Lifeline is designed to make sure you and your loved ones stay independent and at home, without the stress or worry about emergency situations. With this service, you are never truly alone. We have got your back.
"Philips Lifeline is an easy-to-use personal response service that lets you summon help any time of the day or night - even if you can't speak. All you have to do is press your Personal Help Button, worn on a wristband or pendant, and a trained Personal Response Associate will ensure you get help fast. That's why Philips Lifeline provides the #1 Medical Alert Service to offer you something else: peace of mind."
