Philips Lifeline Communicator

You may have seen on TV an ad for Philips Lifeline Communicator.  It is essentially a $1 per day small device that a homebound person wears like a chain around their neck.  If there is an emergency, a button is pressed and Philips based out of Massachusetts is notified and responders are sent. Philips will attempt to talk to the person via a phone call through the senior friendly phone that is provided or through an additional speaker box.

Sometimes seniors or the disabled might find it difficult to use a cell phone or forget to carry it with them. If your ward has a mobility issue than a service like the one Philips provides to 700,000 people makes sense and is not so costly.  Philips can be contacted at 1-800-543-3546 if you need additional information.
