What is Lifeline®?
With the fastest growing segment of the population being the elderly, many people are struggling to care for aging family members. Philips® Lifeline® is a 24/7 communication service designed to provide assistance to seniors with the press of a button, allowing them to remain in their homes as long as possible, extending independence and autonomy through the golden years. Lifeline® can also provide peace of mind to family members who worry that a mother, father, sister or brother might not get help when it matters most. One of the major causes of injury to seniors is falling. Aging bones can become brittle and break more easily. If a loved one falls out of reach of a telephone, help might be hours or even days in coming, potentially placing someone in mortal danger. In other cases a fall might be benign but leave a senior unable to get up unassisted. Stroke, breathing problems, confusion and fear of being alone can also plague seniors. In all of these cases and more, Lifeline® can help.
