“Saves Lives When Seconds Count” has been LifeFone’s motto since 1976. As a leading national provider for medical alert services, LifeFone understands the importance of helping their subscribers during any emergency. Home health agencies, senior living facilities, hospitals, and retirement communities rely on LifeFone’s innovative medical alert solutions, the best-in-class Response Centers, and advanced reporting, to serve their senior population. There are many benefits to adding LifeFone’s services to your organization which include rapid response to emergencies, cost saving expenses, and improving the aging in place lifestyle.
Improving Patient Safety, Outcomes and Independence
Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) enhance patient safety and independence by providing immediate access to help during medical or personal emergencies, such as falls or sudden illness. Equipped with features like one-touch activation, 24/7 monitoring, and in many cases automatic fall detection, LifeFone’s products significantly reduce the time between an incident and medical response, lowering the risk of complications. At the same time, these systems support patient independence by enabling individuals, particularly older adults or those with chronic conditions, to live confidently at home or in the community without constant supervision. CMS Quality Ratings, for example, are measured on health outcomes. Personal Emergency Response Systems encourage users to continue with their daily activities which help maintain or improve body function. By combining rapid response capabilities with ongoing reassurance, PERS promote safer, independent daily living.
Reducing Hospital Readmissions
LifeFone’s wearable help buttons, which can be worn around the neck, wrist, or on a belt clip, can reduce hospital readmissions by providing fast response during medical events, increased patient confidence which encourages safe mobility, and early detection of health decline. With LifeFone’s VIPx Caregiver App, family members or staff can track the user’s location, daily step count, and view their first motion of the day. This critical information can be used to create a plan for the senior to keep them active and avoid complications that can be tied to inactivity.
Alerts Staff to Falls and Other Emergencies
Organizations that LifeFone partners with benefit from receiving enhanced reporting in real time to best serve their senior population. Every button push or fall detection signal has meaning behind it and staff members are alerted immediately to aid or to be informed of the situation. Staff members can receive phone calls, text messages, and emails on every type of interaction with the LifeFone system from test calls to actual emergencies. Medication Reminders and Daily Check In Calls
Medication Reminders and Daily Check in Calls are important features available with LifeFone Personal Emergency Response Systems. LifeFone’s MedReady Medication Dispenser is an automatic locking pill dispenser designed to help individuals take the right medication at the right time. It works by releasing only the prescribed dose at scheduled times while securely locking the remaining medication to prevent missed doses, double dosing, or unauthorized access. When it’s time to take medication, the MedReady alerts the user with loud audio and visual reminders, and it will continue to alert until the dose is taken. MedReady is commonly used by seniors, individuals with memory challenges, or anyone managing complex medication schedules, and it provides peace of mind for caregivers by promoting medication adherence and safety. Daily Check in Calls, which features an outbound call by a LifeFone Care agent, can be scheduled any time throughout the day and night. Each day, the subscriber will hear the warm, friendly voice of a customer care agent who knows him or her by name and is concerned with that subscriber’s well-being.
Helping Older Adults Age in Place
LifeFone earns consistent praise from users and their families for delivering peace of mind, supported by an excellent 4.7/5 Trustpilot rating.
Falls are a serious concern for older adults. LifeFone’s medical alert systems provide a comfortable, 24/7 solution that lets users maintain their independence and daily routines with confidence that help is always within reach.
Cost Savings for Organizations
Personal Emergency Response Systems help organizations save money by preventing severe emergencies and lowers staff requirements for monitoring. With early response, PERS can prevent minor incidents escalating into serious injuries that require hospitalization, ultimately reducing both direct medical costs and insurance claims for the organization. For assisted living or home healthcare settings, which typically have high staffing ratios, organizations can reduce the need with the implementation of a PERS program. LifeFone’s systems can automatically alert local emergency responders, which decreases the need for constant staff supervision.
Conclusion
Every second counts in an emergency. By enabling rapid response to incidents, injury severity and medical complications are reduced, leading to fewer hospital stays and improved quality ratings. For organizations considering a medical alert program for their residents, patients, or clients, look no further than LifeFone!
