Issue 27.09
I just wanted to send you a quick note of extreme satisfaction with your service. My mother has been using your unit for almost 8 months now. In that time, she must have needed to call for help 8 or 10 times. Without the Rescue Alert, she would’ve been without help for days any number of times.
She was very impressed with the microphone sensitivity, as well as the ability to hear the speaker from anywhere in her apartment, even outside, when she locked herself out once! She simply pushed her button, talked to the attendant through her locked door, and the service called the fire department, who came and let my mother in, using the key in her lockbox.
Once she fell and broke her hip, and used her button. Paramedics came and took her to the hospital, and, following a couple of weeks of Rehab, she is now back on her feet and doing well.
In short, I could not be more pleased that I have Rescue Alert for my mother. It definitely made me feel much better with her having the system, since I live many states away.
Thanks again, not only for a great product, but for wonderful folks who attentively take care of your users, by way of the system. And the very reasonable price was only icing on the cake!
Sincerely, Doug H.
We receive many letters just like the one above. Rescue Alert of Dixie provides affordable peace of mind and security to folks in the comfort of their own home.
A study by the National Center for Health Services Research found that those elderly persons using personal emergency response systems: (1) required one day in a nursing home for every 13 needed by those not employing the system (2) experienced a much lower rate of emergencies-roughly one-half that of those not using the system and (3) felt much more comfortable living alone and more confident about continuing to live independently.
For the one-third of the population, each dollar spent for the use of an emergency response system produced a net savings of $7.19 in total long-term care costs, because of reduced use of institutionalization and community care.
It has been estimated that 40% of all nursing home admissions could be avoided if proper services were available in the home and community. For the psychological and financial gains this could bring if it were accomplished, I believe we need to put a high priority on the use of personal emergency response systems.
If you live alone you should have a personal emergency response system. Call Rescue Alert of Dixie today (435) 986-1735 to find out how easy and affordable it is to have this service in your home.
