Lifeline Personal Response and Support Services enable individuals to summon assistance 24 hours a day by simply pressing a Personal Help Button. Lifeline users can often live independently yet they and their family members have peace of mind knowing someone is there to help with a simple press of the button.
Lifeline has subscribers who use the service for a variety of medical or social conditions.
Here’s how it works:
- A small, Personal Help Button is worn on a neck chain, wrist strap or clipped to clothing. If you need help, simply push the button.
- A Lifeline Communicator is connected to your telephone line. It sends an automatic call for help when you push your Personal Help Button or the Help Button on the front of the communicator.
- Highly trained personnel receive your call for help and immediately attempt to make voice contact with you. If assistance is needed, they will contact one of your “responders”—nearby friends or relatives. For more serious situations, an ambulance or police will be dispatched.
- Help is on the way.
Greenville Regional Hospital is a local supplier of Lifeline units. To order Lifeline for you or someone you love, contact the Education Department at 664.1230, x3551.
