In situations like this, Electronic Caregiver’s personal emergency response technology can be a lifesaver.

 


Dear ECG Care Partner,


Two hikers became stranded after tumbling 150 feet down a hill, the Los Angeles Times recently reported. One of the hikers had lost his footing on an icy trail and began to slide. His friend tried to grab him and ended up coasting down the hill with him. One hiker slammed into a tree during the descent and was badly injured. Both lost their cell phones in the fall. The pair had no way to call for help, but luck was on their side. As one of the hikers was moving to a safer spot, he happened to come across someone else’s phone, which had been lost in the snow a few days ago. It had just enough charge left in it to dial 911. After the hikers were rescued, they learned that several others had fallen in the area that same week. The pair may have suffered far worse outcomes had they not found the cell phone.


In situations like this, Electronic Caregiver’s personal emergency response technology can be a lifesaver. Electronic Caregiver’s Premier includes an emergency wrist pendant that contacts first responders with the touch of a button. The wrist pendant is water resistant and doesn’t require recharging, so you’re prepared for any situation that may arise. The Premier also comes with a pocket smart health device with geolocation to help first responders quickly locate the user’s location. Additionally, the device offers 24/7 physician-on-demand services, monitored medication management, and voice technology. With the Premier, you and your loved ones are always protected. 


Let's talk about it!

"Many people who fall, even if they are not injured, develop a fear of falling. This fear may cause them to limit their activities, which leads to reduced mobility and loss of physical fitness, and in turn, increases their risk of falling."

Don't let your loved one be one of the statistics!

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.
