How Does A Personal Emergency Response System Work?
The purpose of any home emergency response system is to alert responsive individuals, neighbors, relatives, emergency, personnel, etc. about medical, security and other types of emergences encountered by those of all ages, including the elderly and infirm whose ability to summon needed help may be comprised by physical limitations.
All one must do to summon help is simply press the button on a pendant or write type waterproof transmitter.
These services address several physical and social situations experienced frequently by persons who live alone and tend to be older, more frail and lonelier than those who share living quarters. Living alone often accentuates the hazards that affect the elderly or disabled. The risk of falling or skipping in the bathtub is greater for those individuals whose strength, vision and/or coordination are compromised by age or illness. For many older persons, relatively simple activities such as rising form a chair may be difficult. In addition many of these individuals suffer from illnesses and disabilities such as heart disease or diabetes that may render them unconscious and in need of assistance but unable to call for help by telephone or other means.
A home emergency response unit is a signaling device that employs a portable transmitters to activate a receiving base with two way voice feature, which in turn summons help through the telephone system that enables someone otherwise unable to call for help to summon assistance from person prepared to respond quickly and appropriately. In a broader perspective, a home emergency response unit can be an integral part of a long-term care program for elderly or disabled person living alone. In addition to summoning help, these additional benefits might include improving the quality of life by preserving an elderly person’s independent, non-institutionalized lifestyle. Disorientation, panic attacks and loneliness are among the many psychological and emotional events triggering the need for communication with another person, and perhaps, not requiring any further intervention beyond a call or visit. Other reason for which this service may be used might be fear of an intruder, detection of smoke or fire, and the smell of gas, loss of electricity or sudden water leak, which may require police, fire, utility service personnel, caregiver or relative to respond.
How much does it cost? About $1.00 per day.
