Protected when falling at independent living facilities

 The Journey Begins… 



Campus of Go Ye Village

The community’s journey with Electronic Caregiver began with Tony Ward, Campus Director of Operations and Independent Living. He decided to bring Electronic Caregiver to Go Ye Village after purchasing the company’s medical alert device for his mother-in-law, Esther Stallings. This was the beginning of Go Ye Village and Electronic Caregiver’s partnership.

Esther’s Options Around 2012, Esther, then a resident of Go Ye Village, needed to replace her old personal emergency response system (PERS). The company she previously bought her PERS device from had gone out of business. So, her family started looking for a new system. That’s when Tony came across a brochure for Electronic Caregiver, a health technology and services company. Electronic Caregiver offers medical alert devices and other digital healthcare solutions. Electronic Caregiver helps protect residents of assisted or independent living facilities across the country. Our company’s advanced technology gives residents a sense of confidence and independence. Furthermore, family members and staff feel at ease knowing residents can get emergency assistance at the touch of a button. Read more

My name is Terry Scott and I am the Connected Care Coordinator for the Twin Ports area and advocate for all safety concerns for every age of our community citizens, but mostly the senior population in the prevention of falls. “It’s the moment that everyone fears: hearing that their loved one has been injured. At assisted living facilities, this moment is most likely to be spurred by a slip or fall. Slips and falls are by far the most common form of injury amongst assisted living facility residents and senior citizens in general …” I want to help you and your tenants specifically. 

I am a Master Care Partner (MCP) with Electronic Caregiver®, one of the fastest-growing health and safety monitoring companies in the U.S. "Electronic Caregiver® is focused on developing and participating in research efforts that support improved outcomes across the healthcare continuum, especially in medical alert systems and fall alert. 

Watch a short video on ECG’s success at Go Ye Village. I would love to do a zoom meeting with the Director of Operations and Independent Living at your facility and see how we might be of service to you. 

Complete the contact form at AlwaysConnectedCare.com to let me know of your interest and I will be in touch immediately.

Sincerely, 

Terry Scott MCP with ECG

You don't have to live in an independent living location to experience falls and other harmful situations. Each year, millions of older people—those 65 and older—fall. In fact, more than one out of four older people falls each year, 1 but less than half tell their doctor. 2  Falling once doubles your chances of falling again. 

Falls Are Serious and Costly. One out of five falls causes a serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury. Each year, 3 million older people are treated in emergency departments for fall injuries.

Protect yourself or a loved one. Please don't hesitate to visit AlwaysConnectedCare.com or www.AMonitorForMom.com to get more details. I know that you will definitely be glad that you did.

Seniors, stay hydrated tips. Plus Minnesota needs Interviewers for Assisted Living Residents and Nursing Homes. Great pay and only 20 hours per week.

  I’m spreading the word about the MN QOL project! (See below).  SENIORS, STAY COOL AND STAY HYDRATED.  Stay in air-conditioned buildings as much as possible. If your home doesn't have air conditioning, contact your local health department or locate an air-conditioned shelter in your area. Do not rely on a fan as your main cooling source when it's really hot outside. Drink more water than usual and  don't wait  until you're thirsty to drink. If your doctor limits the amount of fluids you drink or has you on water pills, ask them how much you should drink during hot weather. Don't use the stove or oven to cook—it will make you and your house hotter. Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Take cool showers or baths to cool down. Do not engage in very strenuous activities and get plenty of rest. Check on a friend or neighbor and have someone do the same for you.
