Lifeline

  • Lifeline is a personal response system which links you to 24-hour assistance at the push of a button. Lifeline benefits people who live alone, the elderly, the handicapped and postoperative patients who want to maintain a link to medical assistance.
  • Lifeline is very easy to operate.

The subscriber to Lifeline is given a necklace or bracelet to wear that has a small button on it. When the subscriber feels that they need help, a simple press on the center of the button connects them with the emergency room nurse at our emergency response center at Mercy Medical Center. The red button on the communicator can also be pressed to get assistance. The Personal Help Button is waterproof and should be worn while in the tub or shower.

  • The Lifeline unit is connected to an electrical outlet in your home, and a telephone line is run to the phone jack.

Complete installation and test calls usually take no more than a half hour. For information, call 563-589-8791.
