Freedom Alert

Everyone needs their independence. For a senior independence can mean freedom to live alone; freedom from worry; or freedom from monthly fees. There are times, however, when living independently can mean there is nobody to assist you during an emergency. That’s why the new FreedomAlert is so important – it gives you the ability to summon assistance at any time. It’s not like other emergency response systems. With FreedomAlert the people who care about you the most will respond to your call.

According to The New England Journal of Medicine:

    • One out of every 3 people over the age of 65 will fall this year.
    • After a fall, 90% of people who receive help continue living independently.

FreedomAlert is the first product that allows you instant 2-way speaker phone communication to family, friends, or neighbors through your mini wearable pendant, at any time, from ANYWHERE in or around your home. If your programmed contacts are unreachable, the system will default to contact a 911 emergency operator.

For a limited time, Bon Secours Home Respiratory will be offering the FreedomAlert personal response system to Senior Health members at a 20% discount. It’s simple to install and requires no monitoring fees, service charges, or contracts. For more information, call 757-213-7902.
