Lifeline Emergency Response
Lifeline is an emergency response system enabling the elderly or people with health problems to live independently. One press of the lightweight, waterproof help button activates a small in-home unit called a communicator. It puts the subscriber in touch with a caring Lifeline monitor who is there to help, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In response to consumer requests, Lifeline has improved its equipment to provide more than emergency response. At the press of the Lifeline button a subscriber can use the home communicator as a speakerphone. This feature enables people to answer the phone without rushing to pick up the handset. Lifeline also has equipment to provide peace of mind for people with limited physical abilities, allowing instant access to communication, personal safety and telephone answering at the blink of any eye, a roll of the head or a puff on a straw.
In addition to basic service, Lifeline offers the CarePartner Telephone with Reminders. Up to six 20 second reminder messages can be programmed to chime daily, weekly or one-time only.
Daily reminders play at the same time every day and are appropriate for activities that occur each day such as taking a medication, physical therapy exercises or even favorite television programs. Weekly reminders will play once a week on the set day, and at the set time. This reminder is good for weekly church meetings or nurse visits. One-time reminders are useful for an event that does not repeat at a predictable interval such as a doctor's appointment.
Equipped with features that enhance daily communication, the CarePartner Telephone with reminders has:
- Large, high contrast pushbuttons for easy dialing and feature access.
- Lighted keypad for nighttime use.
- Speakerphone for hands-free conversation
- Volume controls for handset, speakerphone and ringer.
- Enunciated dialing feature announces each number as it is pressed to ensure correct dialing.
- Memory dial keys for quick and convenient dialing.
Lifeline provides piece of mind for the subscriber and family members. Early intervention is possible in an emergency. Subscribers can maintain their independence with Lifeline and are reassured that help is available if needed.
