Caring for an elderly loved one can be a big task. There are so many things to take into consideration when you are looking at caring for a loved one at home. As a caregiver you want to provide a loving and safe environment for your loved one. There are so many things you need to do to your home in order to make sure that your loved one is not only comfortable but safe. Sometimes elderly loved ones will have a Santa Clarita caregiver or they may try to maintain their own way of life in their home.
Part of this process can include the use of personal emergency response systems (PERS). What are those you may be asking? PERS are devices that allow your loved one to call for help should something happen and they need emergency services. In many cases a caregiver is not going to be around. PERS provide peace of mind not only for the caregiver but for their loved one as well.
Our elderly loved ones are going to have mishaps. So it is only natural that they may slip and fall however there are also those times when more serious incidences like a heart attack may occur. How will your loved one summon the help they need if you are not around? The use of a personal emergency response system is there to give your loved one the help they need. Services can be summoned by simply pushing a button on the system console or on a pendant that can be conveniently worn on the body. When the button is pushed, a professional emergency response specialist will come across the two-way table top system to determine what services are needed. If your loved one for some reason is unable to speak, emergency services will automatically be sent to the address in the system.
There is no need to worry about service hours because these personal emergency response systems provide 24-hour emergency response monitoring. So no matter what the time, day or night, you can have the peace of mind you need in knowing your loved one has immediate access to emergency service. Help doesn’t stop the minute the call is made. Professional emergency response specialists will remain on the line with your loved one until help arrives. This lets them know that they are not alone and that help is on the way.
Personal emergency response systems were designed to provide emergency services and to be the watchful eye when you, the caregiver, can’t be around. See what they have to offer you and your loved on when it comes to their home health care.
