Emergency Response Devices
Lifeline
These devices are attached to a telephone and have the capability of bringing emergency help to people living at home alone. By pressing a button worn around the neck or wrist, the emergency response unit will automatically call a central answering station that is staffed 7 days a week, 24 hours per day. A trained operator will attempt to contact the client through a speaker in the unit and will summon the appropriate help.
For more information, contact Trudy McClure, Lifeline Program Coordinator, at 401-738-0409.
Electronic Medication Dispenser
This appliance assists older people who have difficulty managing their medications. Medications are pre-poured into cups that are dispensed automatically based upon a pre-programmed schedule. If the cup is not taken from the device, an automatic alert is sent to a designated person.
