Lifeline

Help is just a button push away

To help you continue to live in the home you love, the Chesapeake Regional Medical Center family offers Lifeline, the nation's leading personal response and support service. Lifeline provides the peace of mind you and your loved ones deserve, enabling you to continue to live independently in your own home.

The premise is simple: Early intervention can prevent unnecessary complications in the event of a fall or a medical emergency. By simply pressing the personal help button worn around your neck or wrist, you are instantly connected to a caring Lifeline monitor who will access the help you need, whether it's calling a loved one, neighbor or emergency services. Lifeline is there for you, when others can't be 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Lifeline Systems was founded in 1974 by Drs. Andrew S. and Susan Dibner, a husband-and-wife team of gerontologists. Today, the company supports more than 2,500 local community partners and 350,000-plus elders. To learn more about this national company, visit www.lifelinesys.com.

Lifeline is remarkably affordable, with no purchase required and with no long-term commitment. For more information on how you or a loved one can subscribe locally, call 757.312.6470 or e-mail homeassist@chealth.org. With Lifeline, help is always just a button push away.
