TeleCare

TeleCare is an emergency repsonse system that links you to 24-hour assistance at the push of a button. TeleCare allows you to move freely around your home or yard with confidence in knowing that if you need help - TeleCare will dial the phone for you.

"Oh, yes, I resisted getting TeleCare. I thought it would compromise my independence. Instead, it makes my independence possible."

Like a friend, TeleCare is there when you need it.

Among the numerous TeleCare users there are: New mothers who may need help but are unable to leave their infants unattended.
Physically-challenged people.
People who are concerned about their safety or security and want personalized assistance.
People with chronic medical conditions.
Post-operative patients who want to maintain a link to medical assistance.
Active seniors who live alone.

If you're not a TeleCare subscriber, perhaps you or someone you know ought to be.

"The great thing about TeleCare is the way it keeps people connected to one another. After all, it doesn't have to be a medical emergency to make people want to feel there's someone out there who cares.

"Of course, if it is an emergency, or any other kind of situation that requires someone's help, the TeleCare service can be a lifesaver.

"Based on how the caller describes the situation, or if they can't make voice contact, I notify the appropriate responder; a neighbor, relative or friend, an ambulance, the police or fire department; and I stay in touch until help arrives."

As well as TeleCare handles medical emergencies, it isn't just for medical emergencies. It's a life-enhancing system with many unique features.

RSVP: enables you to answer your phone just by pressing your help button and talking through the Communicator speakerphone, even from across the room.
Inactivity Alarm: signals for help if a designated period of time has passed without contact from you.
Personal Help Button: TeleCare's is the finest waterproof help button on the market today, so you can wear it in the bath or shower.
Smoke Detector: an option that out-performs conventional smoke alarms by signaling TeleCare to call the fire department, whether or not you're at home.
Power-Failure Protection: TeleCare's back-up battery ensures that your TeleCare equipment works, even when your electricity doesn't.
