As a caregiver, it is always a little stressful to care for
a senior. You worry about their health and well-being, but also want to help
them keep their independence and dignity. You want to make sure they are
staying on top of their medications, that they are safe, and that they are
getting what they need, but you also do not want to nag or frustrate them. It
is natural to worry, and want the best for your loved ones, and this new safety
device is the best of emergency response systems and so much more. It is called
My Health Phone, and it is the Swiss Army Knife of personal emergency response
systems, and will put caregiver’s and senior’s minds at ease. Here are some of
the features that make this product so revolutionary:
Wider Range of
Service
My Health Phone
Most emergency response systems offer service in the home of
the senior. The senior wears a pendant or device that offers some great perks,
such as being water proof, easy to wear, etc. But it is often limited to the
boundaries of the home, and must be within range of the base to work. My Health
Phone is a fully-functional cell phone that works almost anywhere. As long as
it has cell service, the senior can use it for emergency help. This means it
can be used inside and outside the home, while the senior travels, when they
are out with their friends, on the grocery store, etc.
Check-In Calls and
Text Messages
Of course an emergency response system is important, but it
is also important to recognize that not all emergency situations allow a senior
to call for help. This can be a major concern for caregivers. My Health Phone's
software can be set up to make regular check-in contact. The caregiver and
senior can determine the frequency and timing, as well as whether or not the
check-in is made by phone, text, or email. If the senior does not respond to
the check in, the caregiver will be alerted.
Medication Reminders
Most seniors take a plethora of medications. My Health
Phone's software can be set up to give the senior medication reminders. It can
be customized to fit the needs of the senior and their medications, and can be
set up to let the caregiver know their response to questions about medication
so that the caregiver does not have to nag the senior about whether or not they
took their meds.
Access To Important
Information
As part of the My Health Phone service plan, you are
provided with complimentary access to Proximiti’s My Internet Lockbox service,
which means that no matter where you are, you can gain access to important
documents and information. This service allows you to store electronic copies
of documents such as living wills, HIPAA releases and medical directives for
ready access in emergencies. This makes travel easier, and insures that should
an emergency arise, the important information emergency personnel need is
available.
Caregiver Assistance
and Confirmation
One of the biggest perks for the caregiver, is that this
safety device keeps them in the loop automatically, and makes it easy for
seniors to let them know how they are doing, eliminating the need for nagging.
