Calvert offers Care Connection Lifeline Service as community service to region

Your home is where you’re most comfortable, surrounded by everything that’s familiar. But for seniors, or those recovering from injury or facing a serious medical condition, living home alone can be potentially hazardous. If a fall or emergency would to occur, who would call for help?Care Connection Lifeline, a division of Calvert Home Health Care, Ltd., can help individuals maintain their independence and provide security and peace of mind for the family.Care Connection Lifeline is an easy-to-use medical alert service designed to reduce the risk of living alone, explains Patsy Wooten, Care Connection Coordinator. In the event of a fall or emergency, help is available at the push of a button.Here’s how Care Connection works: when a client requests the service, Patsy visits the home to install a communicator unit, which works with the home telephone. The client wears the Care Connection Lifeline personal help button, either on their wrist or as a pendant. The call buttons are water-proof, and Patsy recommends clients wear the buttons at all times since you never know when an emergency could occur.In the case of a fall or other type of emergency, the client simply presses the help button. The communicator unit activates and establishes two-way voice communication. Within seconds, a trained Lifeline Response Associate assesses the situation to determine whether you require a visit from a neighbor or family member and can contact them for you. If you need emergency help, the associate can dispatch EMS or the help needed.
