Direct Link -- Your Personal Emergency Response System for Safety and Peace of Mind

Who hasn't heard the phrase: "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up"?

Direct Link did not invent this phrase, and it is not in a Direct Link TV ad. However, Direct Link's Personal Emergency Response System provides services similar to the product advertised by that phrase.

Direct Link provides a sturdy, reliable, affordable medical or personal emergency response system in and around your home.

Why Use Direct Link?

With Direct Link, senior adults can remain at home independently with some added safety.  Direct Link can complement Home Helpers' or other home care services to help provide around the clock peace of mind. Alternatively, Direct Link's system can be a stand-alone option to pro vide help at the touch of a button 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

How Direct Link Works

Direct Link offers senior adults and their loved ones peace of mind because they know that in case of a fall or other emergency, they will be able to call for help.  A Direct Link client wears a button on either her wrist or around her neck.  If she were to fall, experience dizziness or disorientation, or experience another emergency, she can push the button.  A trained operator who knows that it is you calling, will come over the speaker and ask, "Ms. You, is everything okay?"  The client can then communicate what her needs are - call my daughter, etc.  All necessary numbers are already on file so the operator can complete the call immediately and help will be on the way. If you don't answer after pushing the button, the operator will send help automatically.

 Why do older adults worry about falling?

• More than one third of adults 65 and older fall each year in the United States

• Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of injury deaths. They are also the most common cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma.

• In 2003, more than 13,700 people 65 and older died from injuries related to falls; about 1.8 million people 65 and older were treated in emergency departments for nonfatal injuries from falls, and about 460,000 of these patients were hospitalized.

So, get peace of mind for a small monthly cost. We can install your Direct Link equipment promptly, efficiently and courteously.
