For Ruth and her son, Lifeline delivers peace of mind.
Ruth was referred to Lifeline 14 years ago after a devastating fall which left her hospitalized. Her Lifeline allowed her to return home after her surgery knowing she could get help 24/7 at the push of a button.
Recently, Ruth upgraded to On the Go, Lifeline’s latest innovation which is designed for use at home and on the go. With six locating technologies and Fall Detection, Lifeline’s advanced fall detection techonology, Ruth can continue to enjoy and benefit from her active lifestyle without worry. Now that’s true independence.
“On the Go has made all the difference in the world. To know that help is just a press button away allows me the freedom to maintain my active lifestyle outside the home without making compromises fuelled by fear,” said Ruth.
Ruth experienced a devastating fall a number of years ago. Since then, she has made a full recovery but enjoys the security she feels wearing her Lifeline button. Ruth jumped at the chance to upgrade to On the Go since she is always out and about volunteering, running errands, attending book club, or walking her dog.
Lifeline has allowed Ruth to overcome the fear of being perceived as someone ‘in-need’—a common stigma for the aging population. On the Go gives Ruth a feeling of empowerment and security when she is out and about or in the comfort of her own home. It also provides peace of mind for her son who can’t be with her at all times.
Think technology has to be complicated? Not when it comes to protecting active seniors who want to age in place. Learn how Lifeline subscriber Ruth uses On the Go to feel more connected and secure while she is out and about and living life to the fullest.
