Lifeline provides a 'gift of independence'

Stumped for a Christmas gift? The “Gift of Independence” is available this year for Christmas giving —a gift that may mean more to an elderly parent or relative than anything else throughout the year. Kosciusko Community Hospital’s “Lifeline” system is the gift of independence, providing increased freedom from worry and fear; and increase in self-sufficiency, self-reliance, and self-esteem. “Lifeline” provides the recipient with 24-hour access to help and aid when the person is home alone. For elderly, handicapped, or isolated persons it offers invaluable independence, as well as peace of mind to those who love them. A small portable button is worn on the wrist, like a watch, or around the loved one’s neck on a golden chain. When an emergency arises, a press of the button automatically dials the telephone, notifying KCH that help is needed. A timer makes it possible for help to be obtained

Members of the team in the Triton Schools are: Almeda Anderson, patron; Linda Bell and Jackie Ochstein, parents; Diana Askins, Kim Bilinski and Kathy Wagoner, elementary school staff; and Tom Bowers, principal. The team’s project will be to circulate a quarterly newsletter to the community, along with a publication in area newspapers.

even if the person is unconscious. Hospital personnel immediately call the person to determine what help is needed. If there is no answer, emergency responders — friends, relatives or neighbors selected when the system is installed — are called. If no responders are available, police or emergency medical technicians are called. Many handicapped and elderly persons, and their loved ones, share one thing in common: they fear something can happen to them and they may lie undiscovered, without help for hours — or days. “Lifeline” is a program which provides emergency help in times of need. Many of KCH’s units now in service have been provided by sons or daughters who are concerned about their elderly parents’ well-being and safety. Other units are leased by the older or handicapped individuals themselves. ’ Information on “Lifeline” may be obtained by calling Kosciusko Community Hospital’s Discharge Planner at 267-3200.
